and all everybody that assisted me to win the award. I want to commend LMC for their foresight for introducing the award,” Usman said to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.

He also revealed that part of the money will be used to organize a mini get together with his teammates while the remaining half will be donated to a motherless baby’s home as directed by the organisers.
