St Lucia Zouks - Kimani Melius

New Delhi [India] September 4 (ANI/NewsVoir): The Hero Caribbean Premier League is particularly notable this year as it is the first cricket tournament to take place following the break due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
INDIBET, sponsors of CPL team St Lucia Zouks, will be donating USD 10,000 to the Ministry of Education in St Lucia. This donation from INDIBET will go towards providing laptops for children in St Lucia affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over two matches, INDIBET will make the following donations based on the Zouks' performance:
1. USD 100 for every boundary scored by the Zouks
2. USD 150 for every Six hits by the Zouks
3. USD 200 for every wicket taken by the Zouks
At the end of the two matches, INDIBET will top up their donation to USD 10,000 (if there is a shortfall). The St Lucia Zouks team will also be wearing INDIBET branded kits in blue (as opposed to their usual yellow coloured kit) to mark this event.
"CPL is one of the most popular cricket leagues and provides the perfect platform to address education issues and drive social change. We believe that education is for all and no child should be deprived of education because of any issue. We aim to be the vehicle that will support development in the education system and more opportunities for children to study," said INDIBET's spokesperson.
With the aim to enact positive social change, this donation marks INDIBET's Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.
INDIBET is the newest brand to launch in the sports gaming arena. The online platform offers unrivalled user experience with the best products that not only look great but most importantly, are easy to use.
The brand prides itself on providing excellent customer support and value. INDIBET is part of a wider group run by executives who have managed a range of products in sports and gaming over the last 15 years.
