This isn’t the first occasion a West Indian cricketer has thanked India for help in providing vaccines. Earlier, former West Indies cricketers Vivian Richards, Richie Richardson, Jimmy Adams and Ramnaresh Sarwan had 🍰thanked Mr Modi for sending the COVID-19 vaccines 𝄹to different Caribbean islands under the ‘Vaccine Maitri’ initiative.
Notably, on March 8, as many as 50,000 made-in-India vaccines had reached Jamaica. After that, Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness had appreciated efforts made by the Indian Government for the mu🐟ch-needed support.
