Bangladesh CB donates $ 10,000 DHAKA, (Reuters) The Bangladesh Cricket Board will donate gate-money amounting $10,000, generated from next month's series between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, to the tsunami victims of Sri Lanka, officials said on Thursday. Sri Lanka's tsunami death toll has risen over 27,000 and over 4,900 people are still missing, the government said. Zimbabwe arrived in Bangladesh on Thursday to play a two-match test and a five-match one-day international series. The first test begins next Thursday in Chittagong. The tsunami that hit Asia on Sunday has killed more than 125,000 people in 13 countries. One million people are homeless and at least five million are without the basic needs to survive. |
