The Shahid Afridi Foundation's campaign to help Pakistan's citizens during these harsh times has received support from former cricketers Shoaib Akhtar, Wahab Riaz and Fakhar Zaman.

The news of Singh donating to a Pakistan foundation comes in the wake of his former teammates Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar among others having donated to the PM CARES Fund and the CM's Fund in a few of their respective states.

Since cricket throughout the world has been put on a hold owing to the coronavirus threat, cricketers from all over the world are contributing from their end to bring relief to people in the country.

England's tour of Sri Lanka, South Africa's tour of India, New Zealand's tour of Australia, HBL PSL 2020 and IPL 2020 were all cancelled or postponed by the respective boards as well as the ICC, in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

Go to hell, Yuvraj. Lost all respect for you and your comrade Harbhajan Singh who too has an overly soft spot for Pakistanis and Shahid Afridi.
