Bangladeshi cricketers will donate BDT 25 lakh for fight against coronavirus

Players of the Bangladesh cricket team have come forward to help the government at this crisis moment. A total of 27 cricketers have decided to donate 50 percent of their one month’s salary so that government can use this money to fight against the deadly coronavirus. The amount of donation is likely to be around BDT 25 lakh after removing the tax. Tamim Iqbal, the recently appointed ODI captain, is the person from whom this idea has come. His initiative has become successful to bring a number of senior and new players under one roof. 

Donation provided by the cricketers might be very little in amount, but this effort will encourage others to extend their hand at this time of distress. We should not forget those lines of the poem titled “Little Things”. The lines are-

                    “Little drops of water,
                     Little grains of sand,
                     Make the mighty ocean
                     And the pleasant land.”

If our little contributions are brought together, it will be of great use to the treatment of Covid-19 infected people or to give relief to the day laborers who cannot go outside to buy their daily food amid lockdown. Following the philanthropic activity of the cricketers, if celebrities from other sectors come ahead to help the poor people then we can win this battle against coronavirus.
