Last week, former West Indies pacer Winston Benjamin made an impassioned plea via an Indian journalist for bats and equipment for grassroots cricketers in Antigua. The video and went viral, and it seems to have caught sporting giant Puma's attention, who've now offered to help out.

Last year, Puma had similarly come to the aid of Zimbabwe cricketer Ryan Burl, who posted a picture of his DIY efforts at fixing his kit and pleaded for sponsors.

Sam Billings does not have the last laugh
Remember when Alex Hales got hit in the box twice in a row in last year's Hundred and Sam Billings couldn't keep a straight face? Turns out karma's a pitch.
