CricInfo reports that Dubai-based charity Shyam Bhatia Cricket for Care (named after its founder & parton, Shyam Bhatia) has made a donation of kit, including balls, bats, helmets, wicketkeeping gloves and other protective gear, to ZC. The kit has in turn been handed over to the five franchise sides for distribution to those who need it. ZC chairman Peter Chingoka welcomed the donation:

"This donation means a lot to our development programme but even more to the young cricketers at the grassroots who will receive the kit soon. As ZC we have always believed in the need to make cricket a sport that embraces all Zimbabweans, no matter where they live or go to school. Thanks to Mr Bhatia's generous contribution, we are able to continue to do just that."

Shyam Bhatia has also made donations to the cricket boards of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, South Africa, and West Indies:

"Cricket has made me what I am today. The prospect of giving under-privileged children around the world the opportunity to also benefit from cricket brings me immeasurable joy."

Cricketing kit remains expensive in Zimbabwe, and this donation will help in the rebuilding of ZC's development programmes.
