Why is the Test match in Sydney called 'Pink Test

The third and final match of the three-Test series between Pakistan and Australia will be played in Sydney from January 3. Australia has a decisive 0-2 lead in the series, but the third Test to be played in Sydney is important for both teams as it is part of the ICC World Test Championship.

The Test match held in Sydney during Australia's home 'summer cricket season' is commonly known as the 'Pink Test'. In this match, both teams will be seen in the field wearing pink hats, while before the match, both teams took photos following the pink theme. The Test match in Sydney is called the 'Pink Test' in memory of Jane McGrath, the late wife of the great former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath. Glenn McGrath's wife, Jane McGrath, passed away due to breast cancer, which is why the match in Sydney is called the 'Pink Test' in memory of her battle against breast cancer. .

 In this regard, the third day of the Sydney Test and the Ladies' Stand at the Sydney Cricket Stadium (SCG) were temporarily named the Jane McGrath Stand after Jane McGrath, and the third day's play was called 'Jane McGrath Day'. Glenn McGrath's wife died of breast cancer in 2008, after which the McGrath Foundation organizes breast cancer awareness and awareness programs across Australia.
