England captain Ben Stokes is present with team for the significant Test series against the booming Pakistan. The English squad will be playing a test game against Pakistan for the first time in 17 years, having lastly clashed in 2005. Ben Stokes made a major announcement of donating his match fees from the upcoming Test series to the Pakistan Flood appeal.

Ben Stokes’ post stated – “It is great to be in Pakistan for the first time for this historic series.

To be back here after 17 years as a Test side is very exciting. There is a sense of responsibility amongst the playing and support group and to be here is special.

The floods that devastated Pakistan earlier this year was very sad to see and has had significant impact on the country and the people.”

“The game has given me a lot in my life and I feel it’s only right to give something back that goes far beyond cricket. I will be donating my match fees from this Test series to the Pakistan Flood appeal.

Hopefully this donation can go towards the rebuilding of areas of Pakistan most affected by the flooding.”
