F.P. Report

KARACHI: Cricket Australia (CA) on Monday appealed for donations to help people badly hit by recent floods in Pakistan.

CA in a post on its official Twitter handle said, “It’s been devastating to see the effects of torrential rains in Pakistan, with one-third of the country under water and more than 33 million people affected”.
