Pakistan will don pink kits in the Oct 25 ODI against England at Gaddafi Stadium, turning the pitch into a canvas for breast‑cancer awareness. The initiative, part of Pinktober, sees players, officials and commentators wear matching ribbons and stumps.
The PCB plans pink‑branded stumps and LED displays to flash messages on early detection during the live broadcast, hoping to reach fans across Pakistan and abroad.
England’s squad will also wear pink ribbons, while commentators will weave the campaign’s theme into their commentary, turning a routine game into a platform for public health.
The match is the fourth ODI in a tri‑series that also features Sri Lanka. Pakistan came into the fixture after a dramatic 37‑run win over Sri Lanka, where they dismantled a 306 target in the last eight overs.
Sri Lanka’s chase unraveled when Janith Silva and Dasun Shanaka were dismissed in quick succession, exposing a collapse that left the team in a precarious 58‑run deficit with five wickets remaining.
The pink‑shirted Pakistan side will look to repeat their aggressive play, aiming to beat England and secure the series. Their next test will be a rematch with Sri Lanka on the back‑to‑back schedule.
