Pakistan, ahead of their final Test against Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground, donned pink caps during their practice session to show support for McGrath Foundation – a breast cancer awareness charity.
The visitors, alongside their hosts, wore pink caps before a photo-shoot to raise funds for the foundation. The Test in Sydney, which starts on Tuesday, will be the ninth such pink Test which endorses the efforts of the charity.
Most women ‘unaware of breast cancer risk’
Former Australia fast-bowler had started the organisation in 2005 when his wife Jane was diagnosed with breast cancer. Jane passed away three years later from the illness.
Early detection key to beating breast cancer
Australian greats like Adam Gilchrist, Shane Watson, and Michael Clarke currently serve as ambassadors of the organisation.
