Mushfiqur donates his 'Player of the Match' prize money to flood victims in Bangladesh
"I want to make an announcement, want to donate my prize money as there's been flood back in Bangladesh," Mushfiqur said.
Mushfiqur Rahim starred with the bat in the first Test against Pakistan as Bangladesh recorded a 10-wicket win in Rawalpindi on Sunday.
The experienced right-handed batter scored 191 from 341 balls, the highest score among all batters in this Test and helped the Tigers get a big 100-plus run lead in the first innings.
That gave Mushfiqur, who is now the longest-serving active Test player in the world, the 'Player of the Match' award.

After the match in the post-match presentation, Mushfiqur said he'd like to donate the money won from his 'Player of the Match' award to the flood victims in Bangladesh.
"I want to make an announcement, want to donate my prize money as there's been flood back in Bangladesh," Mushfiqur said after receiving the award, a prize money of three lakh rupees.
He also felt this was one of the best knocks in his career so far and thanked the management for the way they were able to prepare ahead of this Test match.
"This is one of my finest (knocks) so far because we haven't done that well overseas. All the players prepared well in Pakistan and back home as well. Before the Test series, there was a two-and-a-half-month gap. All the players and management were there, the other white-ball players were playing in the World Cup. I'm thankful to the coaching staff and management," he explained.
