PUMA had previously helped Zimbabwe players by providing shoes in 2021.
In the interview, the former pacer, who has been coaching schoolchildren in Antigua, stated that while franchise cricket may provide a platform for young cricketers, it will not help to reshape the game at the grassroots level.
“Previously, we had a tournament in Sharjah that was merely a benefit game for cricketers from various countries.” I don’t want a million dollars, and all I want is for someone to say, “Here’s some equipment- 10-15 bats.” “So I can give them to the kids,” Benjamin explained.
Notably, this is not the first time the German manufacturing firm has come to the aid of cricketers. Earlier in 2021, PUMA responded to the heartbreaking Tweet of Zimbabwe’s left-handed batter Ryan Burl, who shared the dire condition of their shoes and asked for assistance due to a lack of funds in the cricketing board, with an endearing gesture. PUMA responded to his tweet by sending him and his teammates brand-new shoes.
