The donation has been made as the game suffers in UK because of the deadly outbreak.
Both men and women English cricketers have volunteered pay cuts and donated an amount of 500,000 pounds as their contribution towards the fight against COVID-19 pandemic.
This, following the proposal of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) that the players shall endure 20 per cent cut from their salaries, as the board foresees major losses while the game remains suspended in UK because of the deadly outbreak.

500,000 pounds donated by the men's cricketers is equivalent to 20 per cent of their salaries. The women's team has decided to accept cut of its salary for the months of April, May and June.
"Following a meeting of all of the England men's centrally contracted cricketers, the players have agreed to make an initial donation of 0.5m to the ECB and to selected good causes," reads a statement from the players at the behest of Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA).
"The precise details of the charitable donation to be decided over the next week by the players. This contribution is the equivalent of all of the England centrally contracted players taking a 20% reduction in their monthly retainers for the next three months."
"The players will continue to discuss with the ECB the challenging situation faced by the game and society as a whole and will consider how best to support the ECB and both the cricketing and wider community going forward."
The ECB chief Tom Harrison had earlier denied plans of enforcing the pay cut on players, a stance which perhaps changed when he wrote to PCA over the massive challenge that the game is facing this summer.
Few of the players were anyway doing their bit for the cause. While Men's team wicketkeeper batsman Jos Buttler auctioned his last year's 50-over World Cup final shirt, women's captain Heather Knight joined National Health Service (NHS) as a volunteer.
