Ben Stokes leads way on and off the field with £50,000 donation to Pakistan flood appeal

Ben Stokes has taken the lead as England captain in Pakistan by donating £50,000 towards the flood relief appeal.

Stokes has donated his entire match fees from the three match series, in the region of £15,000 per match, towards the appeal following the devastating floods that took the lives of at least 1,700 people. The England T20 squad made a donation to the appeal during their series in September with the series sponsor Bank Alfalah donating cash for every six hit during the series.

This though is a personal move by Stokes who wanted to use his position as the first England Test captain to lead his side in this country for 17 years to do some good and support people in crisis with nearly 8 million displaced from their homes.
