The Pakistan cricket team will wear a special pink-themed kit in the first T20I against South Africa to support breast cancer awareness.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has joined the Pink Ribbon campaign as part of its efforts to promote awareness about breast cancer.
PCB Chief Operating Officer Sameer Ahmed Syed said that during the first T20I in Rawalpindi, South African players and match officials will wear pink ribbons to show their support for the cause.
He added that Pakistan will play the opening match in a special pink-themed kit, while the stumps used in the match will also be pink.
“Raising public awareness about breast cancer through cricket has always been one of PCB’s key initiatives. During the match, commentators will share awareness messages during the live broadcast,” said Sameer Ahmed Syed.
He also announced that the Pink Ribbon Hospital in Lahore will offer free screening and check-ups on October 28.
The T20I series between Pakistan and South Africa will be played from October 28 to November 1.
