Younis Khan donates Rs 10 million to charity organisations

Karachi, July 8: Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan said he will donate the cash reward of Rs 10 million that he received from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to Edhi Foundation and two other organisations.

"I am thankful to the PM for the cash reward. I will donate it to Edhi Foundation, Indus Hospital and The Citizens Foundation," Younis said as reported in Dawn.

He requested tax exemption on the donation "so that the amount could help as many people in need as possible."
