Srinagar: Pakistan young pacer Naseem Shah has said that he will be putting the bat with which he hit match winning sixes against Afghanistan in Asia Cup match up for auction to help Pakistan flood victims.
With 11 runs needed in six balls and one wicket in hand, Naseem Shah completely turned the tide by smashing two sixes on the first two deliveries of the last over bowled by Fazalhaq Farooqi.
Naseem became the hero of the night with his knock but apart from this, a sweet gesture by him also won many hearts.

In a video posted on Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) Twitter, Naseem announced that he will be putting the bat up for the auction and will be using half of the amount to help the victims of Pakistan floods.
