Cricketers Shoriful Islam, Towhid Hridoy and Nurul Hasan Sohan have called on the nation to support those affected by the severe floods that have hit several districts.

"Allah, please help the flood-affected people, Ameen," wrote pacer Shoriful, who is currently representing Bangladesh in the first Test of a two-match series against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, on his official Facebook page on Wednesday.

Hridoy, currently in Pakistan’s Islamabad, playing for the Bangladesh 'A' team in their second four-day match against Pakistan Shaheens, shared his sense of helplessness at not being able to assist those affected by the calamity back home.

"I feel helpless when I can't be there by the side of people during any calamity. I have asked my friends, who will be working on the ground. But I wonder, will whatever we do be enough? Still, we must do our part – everyone needs to come forward. Not just now, but we must continue supporting the victims until the water recedes," Hridoy wrote in a heartfelt Facebook post.

Sohan, who is currently in the country, expressed his distress over the situation. "I feel completely helpless after seeing this picture. May Allah help them in this situation," he wrote on Facebook while sharing an image of a flood victim.
