Winston Benjamin: Former West Indies Pacer Who Now Fixes Sight Screens

Former pacer Winston Benjamin was once regarded as the next big thing of the West Indies cricket team. But luck wasn't on his side as he could only feature in 21 Tests and 85 ODIs for his country in a start-stop career that spanned around nine years.

But after the curtains were brought over his international career, things haven't been as rosy as it could have been. Benjamin now earns a humble sum of $70 as daily wages for fixing sight screens and boundary boards at the Sir Viv Richards Stadium in Antigua.

"Playing for West Indies never fazed me or changed who I was. Back then, the WICB would pay you 30 per cent of what you’d earned throughout as part of a provident fund when you retired. I only played a handful of Tests and there wasn’t a lot in the kitty. So I needed a job and a man got to do what a man got to do," Benjamin was quoted as saying by the Indian Express.

"And now I still have two kids who I need to put through university and every dollar counts," he added.

Its a pity that such a great player now doing things like these for his survival. How hard it would have been to see other players playing the game with such a passion while he is working on sun screen and boundary boards  :'( :'( :(

This has a precedent in other countries and its a sad indictment no the sports fraternity including fans when erstwhile brilliant players descend into lower rungs of life. To be fair, everybody owes themselves their own living and there are others struggling to make does meet in the lower sealing orders but at the end of the day, a little cash or line recognition goes a long way.
