Cricketers team up to help the flood-affected

Sports Reporter

Around fifty donors, mostly cricketers, donated blood yesterday in a programme organised by the Cricketers' Forum in co-operation with Shandhani at the National Sports Council (NSC) conference room. This was an expression of their support and compassion for the flood-affected people.

Apart from the blood donation, the forum, led by former national captain Roquibul Hassan, also handed over 500 kgs of rice and other food grains to ASM Ali Kabir, the member-secretary of the Krirangan Tran Committee, as part of their contribution for those distressed due to the devastating flood.

Lt Gen Mahbubur Rahman (retd), president of Bangladesh Olympic Association (BOA), was present on the occasion.
