It is sad to see that this year floods have caused tremendous damage to Pakistan. This game has given me a lot in life and I think this is the right time to give something back which is beyond cricket. I will donate my entire match fee for the Test series to the Pakistan Flood Fund. It is hoped that these donations will be able to provide some help to the flood affected areas in Pakistan. ,
