Desperate to reunite with his family in the UK, stranded former New Zealand pacer Iain O'Brien has resorted to crowd-funding to arrange for his tickets after his flights were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 43-year-old from is seeking donations through social networking site Twitter to fund his way back home.
"Ok, so trying to raise some money to pay for this flight back to the UK, O'Brien wrote on his handle.
"I have an idea. If anyone would love a 20 min Skype/vid call, one on one, talk about all things cricket, politics, sausages, mental health, Sachin, etc.
"If you'd like that & can spare a couple of $, DM me."
