August 25th, 2010 - 2:06 pm ICT by ANILahore, Aug.25 (ANI): Pakistani cricketers have offered to donate half of their 500,000 rupee each special cash reward which the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had announced following the team’s Oval Test win against England, for flood victims back home.
“The PCB chairman has announced a winning bonus of 500,000 rupees each for playing members and 250,000 rupees each for non playing members and team officials,” The Daily Times quoted a statement issued by the PCB, as saying.
“All players and officials have donated half of the bonus in flood-relief funds,” it added.
The latest donation is in addition to the one announced last week by the PCB officials, staff and national team players.
Pakistan’s one-day captain Shahid Afridi and international umpire Aleem Dar are also running separate flood relief campaigns raising millions of rupees for thousands of affected people. (ANI)
