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 organizations that launched a joint Humanitarian Needs and Priorities (HNP) Plan today.
The programme calls for US$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.
