Adil Rashid donates aid packages for earthquake victims in the Mirpur region of PoK

English spinner Adil Rashid donated aid packages for earthquake victims in Pakistan’s occupied Mirpur region of Kashmir on Tuesday. The earthquake of magnitude 5.8 on the Richter scale recently hit the PoK Mirpur region in which 37 people reportedly lost their lives and nearly 500 were injured. The England cricketer visited the affected areas and donated the packages.

Rashid hasn’t played a game at any level since the 2019 World Cup this year that England won in the limit count against New Zealand in the final. The leggie was one of the vital gears in the triumph of the team. But he was excluded from the action soon after due to the shoulder injury with which Rashid played during the World Cup. He is now fully fit and is expected to return to the field soon.



I have a special affection for Mirpur
Though he is playing for England in international cricket, Adil Rashid is from Pakistan origin and his parents were born in Mirpur which has led to him helping the people in the region. He was pictured donating the relief packages himself on Tuesday and was also seen speaking to the people with affection.

“I have a special affection for Mirpur because my parents were born here and I am in Pakistan for the people who are in desperate need of help,” Rashid was quoted as saying by Times Now after donating the relief material.

Regarding the return of Adil Rashid to play for England, he will soon take the field during the next tour of New Zealand. The British are planning to play five international T20 matches and a couple of tests against the Kiwis. The leg spinner has been included on the T20I side but has not been named in the test team that has left its career at the targets at the crossroads.

Recently, during an interview, Rashid himself clarified that he would be changing his approach to the limited limits to prolong his career in general if he was not included on the side of the Test in the near future. With the increasing stock of Jack Leach in whites, it seems difficult for him to enter the test team as of now.
