West Indies fast bowler Jerome Taylor, spinner Nikita Miller and wicketkeeper Chadwick Walton have come together to form a cricket charity organisation called the MTW Cricket Foundation.

The entity is geared towards assisting the growth and the development of the sport islandwide, with special emphasis being placed at the high-school level.

"We want to give back to society in the same way society has given to us, and we thought coming together and forming a cricket foundation would be a good thing," said Walton during the foundation's first activity last weekend at Sabina Park.

The occasion was the handing of cricket gear and equipment to his alma mater, Munro College, the first of three high schools who are set to benefit this year.

The others are two unnamed schools from Kingston.
