Indian pacer Mohammad Shami has offered to help the family members of the CRPF personnel who lost their lives in the terror attack in Pulwama on February 14. Shami has already donated Rs. 5 Lakhs to the CRPF Wives Welfare Association. He added that cricketers are standing with the Indian forces.

"It's very upsetting to hear about the tragic events that happened in Pulwama. They risk their lives at the borders so we Indians can sleep safely. It's the least we can do by contributing to help the families who have lost their loved ones and we will always be by their side," Shami told IndiaTV.

"It's our responsibility to give back for the amount they have done for us. We Indians are safe because they're risking their lives 24x7," Shami added.

"As cricketers, we try our level best to go and meet the jawans who are out there. Their morale is boosted thinking that there are people who care about them. We hope to meet the families and help them feel that the entire country is with them."

"Please don't ever feel alone because there are millions who are at your side at the moment. From the bottom of our hearts, we salute you."

India is set to play Australia two T20Is and five ODIs against Australia. Shami is ready to give his 100% to make sure India wins the series. He has been really impressed with the ball in limited-overs recently. That has strengthened his chances for the World Cup 2019.

"We will do everything we can to get a series win and dedicate it to the soldiers".
