Pakistan and Islamabad United cricketer Rumman Raees has raised just over Rs1 million after auctioning some of his cricket equipment and memorabilia.
The money will be donated to help the needy amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The pacer’s Champions Trophy debut cap was sold for Rs160,000. His Pakistan jersey, which had a total bid of Rs145,000 will be reauctioned at a later date as the bidder has refused to take the shirt and requested the fast-bowler to donate the money instead.
Alhumdullilah a total of PKR 1million+ raised through auction. I am thankful to all the people who took part in this and made it possible. The amount will be used for ration and iftar of needy families during Ramazan. Love you all, stay blessed :) pic.twitter.com/lRA2vcYuoi
