Rawalpindi Stadium turns pink

ISLAMABAD:

The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will turn pink on October 28 when Pakistan face South Africa in the first T20I of the three-match series, as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) partners with Pink Ribbon Pakistan to raise awareness about breast cancer.

As part of corporate social responsibility and the global #PINKtober campaign, the PCB announced that the Pakistan team will wear specially designed pink-themed kits, while South African players and match officials will sport pink ribbons to show solidarity with the cause. Stumps will feature pink branding, and commentators during the live broadcast will share awareness messages with millions of viewers worldwide. In collaboration with the Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Trust Hospital, Lahore, free clinical examinations and screenings will also be offered to visitors on October 28.
