Abu Dhabi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will donate all monetary proceeds from Wednesday's fourth One-Day International (ODI) with New Zealand to the victims of the Peshawar school massacre, it said here.

The Pakistani Taliban attacked the Army Public School Tuesday, which resulted in at least 141 deaths, mostly of students.

"We will donate proceeds of the match to the families and towards rebuilding the school," the PCB was quoted as saying by the BBC Wednesday.

"We are playing outside Pakistan only because of the threat of terrorism at home," said the PCB spokesman.

Pakistan have played all of their home matches in the Middle East since 2009, when a bus carrying the Sri Lankan team on its way to play in Lahore was attacked by gunmen.
