What is a Pink Test?
The Pink Test involves transforming the stadium, including the stands, signs, and even the stumps on the field, into a sea of pink.
This initiative aims to raise awareness about breast cancer. It is a tribute to Jane McGrath, wife of former Australian cricketer Glenn McGrath, who succumbed to the illness. In response to this tragedy, Glenn McGrath established the McGrath Foundation in 2005, which collaborates with Cricket Australia to promote awareness and raise funds for patients and survivors.
Over the years, the Pink Test has been instrumental in collecting over $22 million for the foundation's initiatives.
