London-based Pakistani offers to buy place in team
From Abdul Mohi Shah
ISLAMABAD: A millionaire from London who projects himself as a second XI player in a county, has offered Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) an amount of nearly one million pound for giving him the opportunity to play for Pakistan against India in any of the matches in the on-going series.
An official of the PCB told ‘The News’ on Sunday that a Pakistani national living in London with the name of M Jamshaid made this offer through an e-mail. "We have received an e-mail of this millionaire who boasts of his game skills and wanted to play for the country," he said. The PCB official said he had repeated his request many times and said that he could play even better than some of the players touring with the national team to India.
"Firstly, we took it as a joke but when he made several requests we asked him to donate this amount in development of the game in the area of Pakistan from where he belongs. "You might not be a deserving cricketer but you definitely are a millionaire and what you need is to spend the amount on noble cause," the PCB reply said.
