Rashid Khan to donate entire World Cup fees to Afghanistan earthquake survivors

India TV News  

Star leg spinner Rashid Khan has announced that he will be donating his entire match fees earned from the World Cup 2023 campaign to the families that copped the brunt of the tragic earthquake that claimed reportedly more than 2000 lives in the western provinces of Afghanistan on Saturday, October 7. Rashid is also going to organise a fundraiser targeting 100,000 USD through his foundation - 'The Rashid Khan Foundation' in an attempt to "provide immediate relief and support to the surviving of this catastrophic disaster". On the cricketing front, Rashid and the Afghanistan cricket team endured a poor and forgettable start to their 2023 World Cup campaign as the team lost to Bangladesh in its first game by six wickets. After a decent start while batting first, the Hasmatullah Shahidi-led side lost its way completely after the opening duo of Ibrahim Zadran and Wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz put up 47 runs for the opening stand.
