We would like to express our sincere thanks to all the donors who supported Arun’s family. At the family’s request, the fundraiser has now been concluded, as the fundraising goal has been achieved.

It is with profound sorrow and broken hearts that we share the tragic passing of our beloved friend and teammate, Arun Kumar Sandram, in an accident in Raleigh, North Carolina. He was more than just a teammate — he was a true warrior, a passionate lover of cricket, and an inspiration to everyone around him.
On the field, he gave everything he had in batting, bowling, and fielding. Off the field, he was a constant source of encouragement, always pushing us to give one step more — not just in the game, but in life. His energy, positivity, and fighting spirit touched every one of us.
His untimely passing has left an irreplaceable void in our hearts. He leaves behind his wife, Shiva Lakshmi, who recently moved to the United States and now faces this unimaginable loss and journey alone.
During this incredibly difficult time, we humbly request any financial support you may be able to offer. No contribution is too small — every bit of help will mean the world and help them through this painful chapter.
We miss him deeply. His spirit, passion, and kindness will forever live on in our memories and in the game he loved so much.
With sorrow and solidarity,
Family, Friends, Team members, and North Carolina Cricket Leagues
