LONDON: Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar says he is trying to play his part in helping humanity.

"This is something every person should do as it is our human responsibility. If we can help, we should help. So I'm playing a little part and doing what I can do," he said.

Shoaib Akhtar was speaking to Geo News after attending a charity dinner tour in London titled 'Pride of Pakistan' for humanitarian organization Human Appeal.

The charity dinner was held to help raised funds and awareness for clean water projects in areas of Pakistan, including Tharparkar.

Akhtar said he was also looking into further charity projects aimed at raising funds to provide clean water in Tharparkar.

"I am currently taking part in these fund raising projects in London, and also looking to be a part of further projects in the future as well. This is my interest and what I want to do now," he said.
