PCT dedicates Asia Cup final fee to civilians martyred in Indian attack

The Pakistan cricket team donated the entire fee of the Asia Cup final against India to the citizens who were martyred in the attack carried out by India on May 7 this year.

In the Asia Cup final played in Dubai yesterday, India defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets in the last over after a thrilling match.

However, despite winning the tournament, the Indian team remained stubborn and refused to accept the trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President Mohsin Naqvi. However, he also stood his ground, which forced the Indian team to leave the ground without the trophy, disappointed.

During the tournament, the Indian team captain, Suryakumar Yadav, was also fined for holding a political press conference. However, he announced after the final match that he would donate the fees from all his matches played in the Asia Cup to the Indian Army.

Now the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has also stated on social media that the Pakistan Cricket Team donates all the fees of the Asia Cup final to the children and civilians who were martyred in the attack on May 7. Our prayers are with the affected families.

It is pertinent to note that India launched a missile attack on Pakistan on May 7 this year, in which many Pakistanis were martyred and injured. However, Pakistan responded befittingly to the Indian aggression, not only shooting down 7 enemy aircraft but also destroying several air bases.

After Pakistan's strong response, India requested a ceasefire from the US, and a ceasefire was possible in both countries. The US President has openly expressed this more than 30 times, that many aircraft were destroyed in the war between Pakistan and India, and that he brought about a ceasefire between the two nuclear powers.
