Team India will be seen in the same style as it was in the last 4 Tests, but the names and numbers on the jerseys of the Kangaroo players will also be written in pink. But why would this happen in Sydney? What is the reason for this? Let us tell you everything in detail.

Pink test in memory of this person

Its only name is Pink Test but it is not a day-night match which is played with pink ball.

This is a normal test match which is played with red ball only. But here pink color has a different significance. In fact, Jane McGrath, wife of former Australian great player Glenn McGrath, died of breast cancer in 2008. After this, from the year 2009, Australia plays the first Test of the year in her memory as Pink Test, which is to raise awareness and funding against breast cancer.

Ticket money will go to McGrath's foundation

Whatever income will be earned from the last match of the series between India and Australia will go to McGrath's foundation. McGrath had established the 'McGrath Foundation' in memory of his late wife.

His foundation helps breast cancer patients. The simple purpose of Pink Test is to make people aware about cancer. The money from ticket sales of this test will go to the McGrath Foundation as charity, which will help in the treatment of such patients.

How is Australia's performance in the Pink Test?

Australia started the Pink Test in 2009 and till now it has played 16 Pink Tests. His record in this has been very excellent. Out of 16, Australia has lost only one Pink Test while it has won 9 matches. There were 6 matches drawn.
