Irfan along with some committed individuals donated recycled bicycles to those unable to commute to school due to lack of transport in rural parts of Maharashtra.
The 31-year-old cricketer commended the effort put in by journalist Sunandan Lele in distributing the recycled cycles.
The group had earlier collected 40 unused bicycles, repaired and donated them to poor students of New English School in Vinzar village in Pune district.
