The Tigers who were part of Bangladesh's tour of Sri Lanka in August-September, donated their one day's pocket-money from the Sri Lanka trip which amounted Tk 71,300. They added the rest from their benefit fund for the cause, informed Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar.

Bashar and his deputy Khaled Mashud, also a former national skipper, Khaled Mahmud visited their old guru to hand over the money.

Osman, who has been suffering from critical liver disease, has been improving very slowly and is likely to be taken to India for further treatment.
