Karachi, August 17: The Pakistan Cricket Board has donated Rs 10 million to the Prime Minister’s relief fund for the victims of the floods that have ravaged the country.
The board said the amount has been given to President Asif Zardari for the relief fund.
President Zardari is also the chief patron of the PCB and there are reports there is growing pressure on him to make changes in the board following the national team’s dismal show in England.
But a PCB official said that the amount donated by PCB staff and members of the national team from their individual earnings was the start of a campaign by the board to help the flood victims.
“Millions have been displaced by the floods and we are also trying to organise an exhibition match in England between Pakistan eleven and international eleven to raise more funds,” he said.
