India-s physically challenged cricketers have received some unexpected support in these COVID-19 pandemic times all the way from Australia.

Thirty cricketers of the Physically Challenged Cricket Association of India PCCAI will be awarded R5,000 each today as part of the fundraising campaign undertaken by Harley Medcalf, a longtime manager of former Australian captain Steve Waugh. Last month in Australia, Medcalf kickstarted a campaign to support PCCAI cricketers. Till date, AUD 3,550 have been raised approximately R1,85,799. The aim is to reach out to at least 100 "very needy" PCCAI cricketers. Waugh is expected to join the campaign at a later stage.
