England will play a three-match Test series against Pakistan on this historic tour. Stokes will donate the fees for each match of that series to help the flood victims. “It’s great to be in Pakistan for the first time to play the historic E-Series. It’s exciting to come as a Test team after 17 years. There’s a responsible attitude among the players and the support staff, it’s special to be here. ‘

The English all-rounder further wrote, “Sad to see the terrible floods that have hit Pakistan this year. Its impact on this country and its people is huge. This game has given me a lot in my life. I think it’s okay to give something back beyond cricket. I will pay the match fees from the Test series to the Flood Fund of Pakistan. I hope this grant will be useful in rebuilding the areas that have been most affected. ‘

It is to be noted that about 33 million people have been affected by floods and landslides caused by heavy rains in Pakistan this time. Among them are 16 million children. The Pakistan cricket team wore a special jersey before the World Cup to help the flood victims. This time Ben Stokes stood beside them. The total amount of his match fee in three matches is more than Tk 53 lakh in Bangladeshi currency.
