While the England cricket team is in Pakistan for the first time in 17 years, the PCB has announced that the gate money for the first T20I match will be donated to flood victims.
The first encounter between England and Pakistan was played at a National Stadium in Karachi on Tuesday. When all the tickets for the series opener were sold out, the PCB earned Rs. 13 million, which was donated to the Prime Minister’s Flood Relief Fund. PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja and CEO Faisal Husnain praised the fans for putting up an excellent show to contribute to the cause.
