A London-based Pakistani millionaire has offered the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) an amount of nearly one million pound for giving him an opportunity to play for Pakistan against India in the ongoing series.
M Jamshaid, a Pakistani national living in London, made this offer through e-mail to the PCB.
"We have received an e-mail of this millionaire who boasts of his game skills and wants to play for the country," The News quoted a PCB official as saying.
The PCB official said that Jamshaid had repeated his request many times and said that he could play even better than some of the players touring with the national team to India.
Replying to the request made by Jamshaid, the PCB asked him to donate this amount towards the development of the game in the area of Pakistan from where he belongs.
"You might not be a deserving cricketer but you definitely are a millionaire and what you need is to spend the amount on noble cause," PCB said in its reply.
