Ben Stokes to donate Test match fees against Pakan to flood relief

England Test captain Ben Stokes took to Twitter on Monday, announcing that he will be donating his match fees from the upcoming Test series against Pakan to the Pakan Flood appeal.
“To be back here after 17 years as a Test side is very exciting. There is a sense of responsibility amongst the playing and support group and to be here is special. The floods devastated Pakan earlier this year was very sad to see and has had significant impact on the country and the people. The game has given me a lot in my life and I feel it’s only right to give something back that goes far beyond cricket. Hopefully this donation can go towards the rebuilding of areas of Pakan most affected the flooding,” he posted on Twitter.
At least 1600 died and millions were impacted the floods that ravaged Pakan a few months ago. The flooding, the result of an unusually wet monsoon season in Pakan this year, started in July, but worsened as days went on.

England are in Pakan to play a 3-match Test series, due to start from December 1. The Three Lions had also visited the country a few months ago when the two teams took part in a 7-match T20I series which was won England.
“One of the things we try and do is respect the conditions but at the same time if we are given the opportunity to try and play aggressive and attacking cricket, we’ll try and take that option,” England coach McCullum said as England had its first training session at the Pindi Cricket Stadium — the venue for the first test.
