England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler has raised £65,100 in his bid to auction the shirt he wore in last year’s World Cup final, to help in the fight against Covid-19.
Buttler had put up for the shirt for sale on eBay, the same long-sleeved shirt he wore when he ran out New Zealand’s Martin Guptill in the Super Over to seal England’s World Cup triumph, after a tied final at Lord’s last year.
“It’s a very special shirt,” Buttler said, “but I think it takes on extra meaning with it being able to hopefully go to the emergency cause.”
