The Cricket Associations also come to the forefront:

The Cricket Associations also came to the fore to tackle the intimidating situation. The Cricket Association of Bengal was the first association to come forward when they donated 25 Lakhs to the authorities to combat Covid-19. Avishek Dalmiya, the president association, also ahead and donated five lakhs of his capital to the relief funds.

Glad @CabCricket has donated 25 lacs for Corona relief and President Avishek Dalmiya has donated an additional 5 lacs in his personal capacity. Every contribution will make a difference.
