The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said Wednesday that the gate money from the fifth and final T20 international (T20I) between Pakistan and New Zealand will be donated to the earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria.

The match will be played at the Pindi Cricket Stadium on April 24.

The border region of Turkey and Syria was rocked by one of the deadliest earthquakes on 6 February that claimed thousands of lives and destroyed essential infrastructure, including healthcare facilities.

In a statement, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said it will play a part in raising donations for millions of people affected on either side of the border by joining hands with the Punjab government.

“The Pakistan side will wear commemorative caps to convey Pakistan’s everlasting solidarity to the two nations going through this difficult moment,” the statement mentioned.

The PCB said fans who cannot attend the match are “encouraged to make their donations for the cause”. They can send their donations to the following address:

Bank name: Bank of Pakistan
Account title: Pakistan Cricket Board
Account number: 2081003169856007
IBAN number: PK71NBPA2081003169856007
