The 61-year-old Dev has recently been actively campaigning to help cricketers who are struggling after losing jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and those who do not receive a pension.
Dev and his former teammate Sunil Gavaskar spearheaded the Indian Cricketers Association (ICA) mission, raising INR 3,900,000 to help former cricketers who are struggling with all sources of income coming to a standstill.
