Cricket tour raises funds for charity

Spencer Crawley (2006, History) is embarking on a cricket tour of Pakistan to raise money for the Afghan Appeal Fund.

Mr Crawley will play cricket for five consecutive days, twice against the Pakistan under-19s, and once against the Pakistan Army, the British High Commission and the famous Aitchison College, renowned for having produced six captains of the Pakistan national side.

The tour is sponsored by Sir General David Richards, British Chief of Defence Staff, as well as the Pakistan Cricket Board, while the British High Commission will be hosting a fund-raising event. The aim is to raise money for the Afghan Appeal Fund, which was set up by family members of British servicemen to build schools in the region.
