KARACHI: Pakistan cricket team will don Edhi Foundation's logo on their official jerseys during the tour of England that kicks off from July 14.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made the move to associate itself with the country's greatest philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi.

The Pakistan team captains — Misbah-ul-Haq, Azhar Ali, and Sarfraz Ahmed — are set to attend a charity event on Friday to endorse the organisation.

According to the PCB spokesperson, "the cricket board looks to fulfil its social responsibility and donate to the foundation."

The International Cricket Council has granted PCB the permission to use the Edhi Foundation's logo on Pakistan's official kits.

The national side will travel to England on Saturday for four-Test, five One-Day Internationals (ODI), and a Twenty20 International.
