Pakistan team recently registered a historic victory after 22 years by defeating Australia in the ODI series. Pakistan had won this series by 2-1. Now both the teams have to play T20 series from Friday 14th November. Earlier, Pakistan's star batsman Babar Azam has done a noble deed in Australia by showing generosity. He donated his Test jersey, which Babar had worn during a Test match, to the foundation of Australian opener Usman Khawaja. Usman will raise funds for his foundation by selling this jersey in the auction.
Usman Khawaja was very impressed by this cooperation of Babar Azam and thanked him for his help. Usman told that when the announcement was made by Cricket Australia, Babar himself messaged him for this work and expressed his desire. First he wanted to give the jersey played in the 2022 T20 World Cup final. Then he decided to donate the test jersey. Usman Khawaja's organization works to advance village, migrant and economically weaker youth through sports and education.
Babar Azam said “It is an honor for me to donate my official Test match shirt to Usman Khawaja Foundation. I'm always available to help him out for his good cause.” pic.twitter.com/y4ZSi0pYYq

Usman Khawaja said during an interview that earlier he too could not speak English. Had to struggle a lot to move ahead in life. But after coming to cricket, he never felt isolated or alone. That's why he helps the youth through this.
He revealed that like Australia's legendary fast bowler Glenn McGrath, he also wants to connect his foundation with the Gabba Test. Let us tell you that McGrath Foundation is associated with the Sydney Test, in whose name the Pink Test is played once a year. During this time, along with educating Australian women about breast cancer, funds are also collected.
