April 14, 2020 03:28 PM


Former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Khan Afridi agreed to work for brands, not for money or personal gain, but for ration exchange and funds that can be used to support the underprivileged suffering from the coronavirus lockdown.

Taking to Twitter, Afridi said: “I have been lucky to have worked with many brands for ads/promotion. Now working first hand with the ones suffering during COVID-19, I have a proposal to all brands: I will work with brands for free personally - I just want ration and funds in return,” read the tweet.
