BIRMINGHAM: Pakistan cricket captain Younus Khan has said the people can play key role in seeking solution of the problems faced by a country.

Younus was addressing a press conference organized by a charity Islamic Relief. 

Younus along with team colleague Shahid Afridi hosted a fundraiser under Islamic Relief for the victims of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Swat and Malakand region. 

“No government can resolve the problems of a country all alone, so the people should play their role,” Younus said.

Shahid Afridi talking on the occasion said health and education are two major problems in Swat and Malakand region, and called the civil society to play its role in seeking solution of these problems.

Director Islamic Relief informed the cricketers about performance of the charity.

More than £135,000 was raised by the charity in the talk and dinner which will enable Digbeth-based Islamic Relief to help thousands of people who are returning home to the region to rebuild their lives.

Shahid Afridi and Younis Khan were visiting major UK cities in aid of Birmingham-based charity, Islamic Relief.
