Mushfiqur to auction bat to raise funds for COVID-19 fight

Coronavirus situation in Bangladesh is making everyone think. With the deteriorating situation, the fear of the country being stagnant for a long time is also getting increased. Government-private funds have been set up to deal with this disaster. Bangladesh wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim is joining the fund a little differently this time.

The national cricket star is auctioning off his bat. The money from the auction will be spent to deal with coronavirus. Auction of cricket equipment for charitable work is rare in Bangladesh. However, during the disaster of the country, Mushfiqur is picking up one of his favorite and historic bats at auction.





The Bangladeshi wicketkeeper batsman is planning to auction his most beloved bat. Mushfiqur, the first Bangladeshi batsman with a double century in Test cricket, has decided to auction the bat to help the poor people. The entire proceeds from the auction will be spent with the help of poor and helpless people.

When Mushfiqur decided to auction the bat, Shakib Al Hasan called for an initiative just a day before. Shakib said on Facebook Live,

“Cricketers from many countries are auctioning their cricket equipment along with their T-shirts. We can do anything like that. It can also be a bat with any of our cricketer’s autographs. We can auction these things through Facebook or the foundation.”

Earlier, English cricketer Jos Buttler auctioned his World Cup final jersey for charitable work. In addition, Pakistan legend Wasim Akram picked up a bat and ball signed by him.
