Superstars Younis Khan, Shahid Afridi, Babar Azam, and Kamran Akmal will play in an exhibition match to help the flood-affected people.

The Flood Relief Exhibition Match will take place at the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium in Peshawar on August 30 with a slogan, “Khel Se Khidmat”, roughly translated as service through sports.

The fixture is set for Saturday, and the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Ali Amin Khan Gandapur, along with other cabinet members, has bought the tickets worth Rs 50,000 each to support the charity match.

The KP government has planned a match between Peshawar Zalmi and Legends Eleven at the stadium, which has been under construction for the last eight years.

However, the facility is ready with amenities, including dressing rooms for the players, a VVIP enclosure.

Pakistani cricket stars like former Pakistan cricket team captains Shahid Afridi, Younis Khan, and Babar Azam, with Kamran Akmal, will be in action in front of an expected crowd of 17,000 at the new stadium.

The ticket price for an ordinary seat is Rs 1000; however, there are tickets available for 200 VVIPs and 800 VIPs.

The VVIP enclosure costs Rs 50,000 per seat, which is bought by the CM KP and other cabinet members.

It will start at 1 pm local time, and the total amount of money earned from ticket sales will be donated to help the flood victims.

“Since the 2025 monsoon season began on 26 June, Severe monsoon flooding has caused 785 deaths and over 1,000 injuries nationwide, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) worst affected, reporting 465 fatalities.

The disaster has damaged over 661 km of roads, 234 bridges, nearly 4,700 houses, and resulted in the loss of more than 5,400 livestock, severely impacting mobility, livelihoods, and access to services,” according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

If a paindu told the Generals not to build DHA's then what do you think Generals
will do to him?

This is just an excuse the military junta does not want to build dams, the Army Thief
is only bothered about his extension and then running away out of the Country.
Who cares if a bloody civilians is drowning.

Musharaf had the best chance to build Kalabagh dam but he was more bothered
about his kursi., if he made a decision like Ayub Khan then no one could of stopped
it from happening.
