Afghan cricket team raising funds to build schools
Afghan cricket team
Afghanistan’s national cricket team has set up a website that sells cricket jerseys, В and the money they raise from the selling of these jerseys will go towards building a school in the village of each player.
The idea to raise money to build schools was first introduced by one of the team’s star players, Mohammad Nabi, who is an all rounder who can bat consecutive 6’s.
According to the site, the recently retired middle order batsman, Raees Ahmadzai is “committed to education for boys and girls. He is hoping to build a school for girls, as there currently isn’t one, as well as develop the girls cricket team in his village.”
This is their way of giving something back to their country.
