Calcutta: The West Indies Retired Players Foundation (WIRPF) will stage its inaugural charity golf day in Barbados.

The WIRPF - a joint initiative of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and West Indies Players Association (WIPA) - will host the event at the prestigious Sandy Lane Country Club on Sunday. The event is supported by CPL and Digicel.

According to a media release, several former West Indies players including Desmond Haynes and Richie Richardson, as well as current players will take part in the day's competition to raise funds for the programmes of the WIRPF.
