KABUL (SW): The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) came for the rescue of war-weary citizens of Kunduz with a financial aid of some AFN 3 million.
The aid was distributed among the needy families in Kunduz on Tuesday. The ACB managed to collect this aid money with a charity T20 match in Kabul last month.
Azizullah Fazli, the care-taker Chairman of the ACB distributed the aid among the deserving families in the city that was briefly overrun for the second time by the Taliban over a month ago. He said on the occasion that the amount would be distributed among the 600 needy families. The aid package included wheat-flour, ghee, rice and beans. A team from the ACB had prepared a list of the deserving families according to which the aid has been distributed.
Responding to the popular demand for a proper cricket stadium in the province, the ACB official assured Kunduz residents that budget would be dedicated for grass in the ground and two clay pitches.
Dr. Noor Alam Fareed, head for cricket in the Amo Zone, thanked the ACB for helping the needy countrymen in Kunduz for the second time. He also praised the national cricket team for hoisting the national flag high around the world.
It is worth noticing that the ACB is also poised to hold another fundraising T20 match in Kabul for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) of Helmand and Uruzgan provinces.
