The touring Australian cricketers have joined the appeal for humanitarian aid for Sri Lanka currently facing a severe economic crisis.
The cricketers have joined hands with the United Nations team in Sri Lanka and non-governmental organisations that launched a joint Humanitarian Needs and Priorities (HNP) Plan on Thursday.
The program calls for $ 47.2 million in humanitarian aid to provide life-saving assistance to Sri Lanka over a four-month period from June to September.
In a video message, Australian cricketers Steve Smith and Mitchell Starc have issued messages raising awareness of Sri Lanka’s economic crisis.
Those willing to assist can do so by making donations via the following link:
