Pakistan To Wear Pink Jerseys For Breast Cancer Awareness
On October 18, Pakistan’s players will step onto the field in a colour rarely associated with their national cricket kit. The team will wear pink against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi, using the opening match of the ODI tri-series to bring breast cancer awareness into the spotlight.
The initiative is being organised through a partnership between the Pakistan Cricket Board and Pink Ribbon Pakistan as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
With millions following the national team, the campaign offers an opportunity to bring conversations about breast health to a much wider audience.
The campaign will be visible throughout the match rather than limited to Pakistan’s playing kit. Sri Lankan cricketers, officials and coaching staff will wear pink ribbons, while the stadium’s displays, boundary boards and stumps will feature the awareness theme.
Television coverage will also become part of the effort, with commentators and presenters wearing pink ribbons and sharing information about breast cancer awareness and prevention.
These details turn an ordinary match-day experience into an opportunity to introduce health information to cricket fans.
Pakistan’s awareness match comes as the team prepares for a busy ODI season. Shaheen Shah Afridi will captain the side, with Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Salman Ali Agha, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf among the players named for the tri-series.
England joins Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the tournament, which runs from October 18 to 31 across Rawalpindi and Lahore. The matches will also give the three sides valuable preparation ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
