Pakistan players donate half of Oval win bonus

Pakistan's cricketers donate half of the bonus received for winning their Test match against England to flood victims.

LAHORE: Pakistan's cricketers Tuesday donated to their flood-hit countrymen half of the $55,722 bonus they received for winning their Test match against England at the weekend.

The bonus was awarded by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the team's narrow, four-wicket win at the Oval on Saturday.

"The PCB chairman has announced a winning bonus and all the players... and officials have donated half of the bonus in flood-relief funds," the PCB said in a statement.

The latest donation is in addition to one of 137,590 dollars announced last week on behalf of PCB officials, staff and national team players.

Pakistan's one-day captain Shahid Afridi and country's international umpire Aleem Dar have also run separate campaigns for flood relief, raising millions of rupees.
