 A London-based Pakistani millionaire has offered the Pakistan Cricket
Board (PCB) an amount of nearly one million pound for giving him an
opportunity to play for Pakistan against India in the ongoing series.

M.Jamshaid, a Pakistani national living in London, made this offer
through an e-mail to the PCB.

"We have received an e-mail of this millionaire who boasts of his game
skills and wants to play for the country," The News quoted a PCB
official as saying.

The PCB official said that Jamshaid 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.

Replying to the request made by Jamshaid, the PCB asked him to donate
this amount towards the 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,"
PCB said in its reply. (ANI)
