After securing a historic Test victory against Pakistan in Rawalpindi on Sunday, Bangladesh’s star batters Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das have donated their prize money to support flood victims in Bangladesh.
Recent flash floods in northeastern Bangladesh have claimed at least 18 lives and directly affected over 5 million people.
Mushfiqur, who scored a remarkable 191 runs in the match, played a pivotal role in Bangladesh’s win. Following the match, he announced his decision to donate his prize money to those affected by the floods.
Wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das soon followed suit, making a similar announcement.
“We defeated Pakistan in a Test match for the first time, and I’m thrilled and proud to have contributed to this victory. However, due to the flood situation in our country, I can’t fully enjoy this win; my heart remains with those back home,” Litton shared on social media.
“I’m announcing that I will donate the prize money I received as the Energetic Player of the Match to the flood victims. To everyone back home, please come forward and help as much as you can. The greater the challenge, the stronger our unity. Bangladesh will not lose,” he added.
