Web desk: The Pakistan Cricket Board has introduced a special pink theme kit for the Pakistan cricket team for the first T20 match against South Africa.
In the first T20 match against South Africa in Rawalpindi on October 28, the national players will participate in the breast cancer awareness campaign by wearing pink jerseys.
Umpires, staff and commentators will also support the campaign by wearing pink ribbons.
PCB CEO Sameer Ahmed Syed says that we are proud to use the popularity of cricket for social awareness, and timely diagnosis can save countless lives.
The stumps used in the match will also have pink branding, while awareness messages will be displayed around the field.
This is the first time that the PCB has included a breast cancer awareness campaign in an international match.
Earlier, “Pink Day” events were held only during the PSL. The second and third T20 matches of the series will be played in Lahore on October 31 and November 1, respectively. The three-match ODI series will be played in Faisalabad from November 4 to 8.
Wami cricket team captain Salman Ali Agha has said that the team is formulating its strategy by looking at the data from last year’s grounds, and the same strategy will be adopted this time too.

Salman Ali Agha Media Talk
Talking to the media, Salman Ali Agha said that players who are not part of the team also stay in the team’s loop so that communication and harmony are maintained.
He said that his opinion is also included in the selection committee, and all decisions are made through teamwork.
He said that the national cricket team will take to the field for the first time wearing pink shirts to raise awareness about cancer.
The captain said that the team is learning from its mistakes and moving forward, and they themselves make decisions during most of the matches, so there is no need to send a message to the coach.
Salman Ali Agha said that more attention is being paid to the batting department while special efforts are being made to improve the bowling as well. According to him, the team needs more all-rounders to maintain balance.
Regarding his performance, he said that he is constantly focusing on improvement.
On the question about Babar Azam, the captain said that Babar is a world-class player and his presence will be very beneficial for the team.
