Islamabad (GNP): Pakistan are set to wear special pink jerseys in the One Day International (ODI) tri-series against England. The move is part of an awareness campaign that has become a tradition for the team.
The Pakistan pink jerseys are meant to support breast cancer awareness. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed the gesture, which aims to carry an important health message to millions of fans watching around the world.
Promotional photos showed the usual green shirts replaced by a bright pink kit. The special edition jersey will be worn in one match of the series to highlight the cause and encourage early screening.
Cricket fans have welcomed the decision online, praising the team for using the sport to promote a social cause. Many are also searching for why the side has set aside its green colours for this fixture.
According to sources, the PCB will donate a portion of the jersey sales to a breast cancer foundation. The pink kit was reportedly worn by Pakistan in 2019 as well, when it drew strong support from fans. This year’s design combines bright pink with green accents.
Players such as Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi are expected to lead the awareness drive by sharing messages on social media. England players are also expected to wear pink ribbons during the match, which would see both teams united behind the campaign.
Fans have been asking where to buy the limited edition kit. The PCB store has confirmed that the jersey will be available online from next week.
The Pakistan pink jerseys carry meaning beyond fashion. They stand for hope and strength for thousands of women fighting breast cancer, and the team hopes its platform can help deliver a life-saving message.
Experts say such campaigns have a strong impact during a high-profile series because cricket reaches almost every home in Pakistan. A single match in pink, they argue, can raise more awareness than months of regular campaigns.
The date of the pink kit match will be announced soon. Sources say it is expected to be one of the most memorable fixtures of the series.

The coaching staff backs the decision and believes such gestures lift team morale. Former cricketers have also described it as a fine example of using sport for social good.
The PCB has planned a special ceremony before the match to honour survivors on the ground. The team will stand with them in a show of solidarity and support.
For young fans, seeing their heroes in a different colour is both exciting and educational. Parents can use the moment to talk to their children about health awareness while enjoying the match together.
The tri-series is about more than winning. The pink jersey initiative aims to leave a lasting impact beyond the boundary.
