Pakistan umpire Aleem Dar has announced that he is going to contribute $10,000 to the dams fund project.
“I have decided to contribute $10,000 for the dams fund initiative,” he said in a video message.
Dar is amongst International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Elite Panel of Umpires and has officiated in 300 international matches across all three formats.
Pakistan Prime Minister and former national cricket team captain, Imran Khan, has called for Pakistanis at home and abroad to donate to the fund in a bid to help the country’s water shortage crisis.
The fund is in place to build new water reservoirs within the next seven years to prevent a serious drought.
Dar revealed the confirmation of his donation in a video posted online. “I have decided to contribute $10,000 for the dams fund initiative,” he said.
“I appreciate the efforts put in by Chief Justice of Pakistan (Mian Saqib Nisar) and government of Pakistan to construct dams in Pakistan.”
