The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has unveiled a special pink-themed kit for the national cricket team ahead of the first T20 match against South Africa.
According to the PCB, players will don the pink jerseys during the opening T20 in Rawalpindi on October 28 as part of the “PINKtober” breast cancer awareness campaign. Umpires, staff, and commentators will also wear pink ribbons to show their support for the initiative.
PCB CEO Samir Ahmed Syed said, “We are proud to use the popularity of cricket to promote social awareness. Timely diagnosis can save countless lives.”Even the stumps used in the match will feature pink branding, and awareness messages will be displayed around the ground.
This marks the first time the PCB has incorporated a breast cancer awareness campaign into an international match. Previously, “Pink Day” events were held only during the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
