Pakistan wear pink jerseys for England ODI to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Day
Pakistan don pink kits for the Lahore ODI as part of a breast cancer awareness initiative.
Pakistan will wear specially designed pink jerseys for the fourth ODI against England at Gaddafi Stadium on October 25 to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Day. The Pakistan Cricket Board has partnered with Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Trust Hospital, which is offering free screenings to fans between October 24 and 26.
All Pakistan players will wear the pink kits while England players, match officials and commentators will don pink ribbons. The stumps, big screens and LED boards will also carry awareness messages throughout the day. Limited-edition pink merchandise is on sale with proceeds directed to treatment costs for patients who cannot afford care.
Pakistan have already secured a place in the tri-series final after three wins. England must win to stay in contention after two defeats. The PCB COO Sumair Ahmad Syed said the initiative aims to use cricket's reach to highlight the importance of early detection.
