ISLAMABAD, Oct 11: The Pakistan cricket team on Saturday took time out to visit the Faizul Islam Orphanage and announced a donation of Rs 50,000.

The team stayed there for a good while, talking to the children and giving them cricketing tips.

On behalf of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) the Orphanage would be provided cricket gear as per their requirement, officials said.

Pakistan captain Inzamamul Haq asked the children to pray for the success of the team on Sunday when Pakistan play South Africa in the decisive one-day match in Rawalpindi. “Rather do always pray for us,” he told them.
