LAHORE: Pakistan`s cricketers Tuesday donated to their flood-hit countrymen half of the 55,722-dollar bonus they received for winning their Test match against England at the weekend.

The bonus was awarded by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the team`s narrow, four-wicket win at the Oval on Saturday.

"The PCB chairman has announced a winning bonus... and all the players and officials have donated half of the bonus in flood-relief funds," the PCB said in a statement.

The latest donation is in addition to one of 137,590 dollars announced last week on behalf of PCB officials, staff and national team players.

Pakistan`s one-day captain Shahid Afridi and country`s international umpire Aleem Dar have also run separate campaigns for flood relief, raising millions of rupees.

Pakistan has been hit in recent weeks by the worst floods in country`s history, affecting 20 million people in the north-west and southern parts and leaving 1,500 dead by an official count.
