LONDON: England’s batsman Jos Buttler has said he will auction the shirt worn during the 2019 World Cup final victory to raise funds for efforts to fight the coronavirus.
In a video posted on Twitter, Buttler confirmed the shirt would be signed by all the players from England’s World Cup squad. “I’m going to be auctioning my World Cup Final shirt to raise funds for the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals charity. Last week they launched an emergency appeal to provide lifesaving equipment to help those affected during the COVID-19 outbreak.”
“As we all know, hospitals, doctors, nurses and the NHS are all doing quite an incredible job at the moment,” said Buttler. “And in the weeks and months to come they are going to need our support even more.”
