Coronavirus: Jos Buttler's World Cup shirt auctioned to raise money for specialist heart and lung centres

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler has raised over £65,000 for the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals charity after auctioning off his World Cup final shirt.

The 29-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman played a major role in England's success in the showpiece match at Lord's last summer.

He made 59 in the run chase against New Zealand and then completed the run-out from the final ball of the Super Over which earned England victory.

Buttler decided to put the powder blue one-day jersey - which will forever hold a place in English cricket history - on eBay a week ago to raise money for two specialist heart and lung centres dealing with the coronavirus crisis.
