\nPakistan Cricket Board Chief Executive Wasim Khan today announced that over the next three months he will personally donate a total of PKR1.5million to support former players, match officials, scorers and ground staff who are struggling through financial hardships.
\nWasim took the voluntary decision to make this donation as a way of giving back to the game\u2019s key stakeholders at a time when there was a greater need.
\nWasim Khan said: \u201cI have decided to personally make this donation to help those players, match officials, scorers and ground staff who are in dire need of financial assistance.
\n\u201cThis small contribution is to support the Chairman\u2019s Welfare Fund that is already in place and to show solidarity with him as we look to provide as much support to the players, match officials, scorers and ground staff facing hardships in these tough economic times.
\n\u201cAs head of the executive team, I also think it is appropriate that I take a personal lead with this and it\u2019s a decision that feels absolutely right to me.
\n\u201cAfter past culture of all PCB staff receiving substantial annual incremental increases, we have made a decision to tighten our expenditure over the next 12 months and only award increases to staffers who earn PKR100,000 a month or less. This will commence from the new fiscal year, which starts on 1 July.\u201d
\nPCB Chairman Ehsan Mani said: \u201cI appreciate Wasim Khan\u2019s gesture and commend him for leading by example. Wasim\u2019s actions show that he is not only a good leader, but one who thinks and cares about the wellbeing of past and present players and other stakeholders.
\n\u201cWasim has consistently shown his commitment to Pakistan cricket and this is another example of his contribution and leadership. \u201cI am sure that Wasim\u2019s generosity will help cricketers in need in these difficult times.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
