There was an interesting scene during the Sydney Test between Australia and Pakistan which concluded on Saturday (January 6). When the game was over, when the wives of the Glenn McGrath family met the players at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Mohammad Rizwan's attitude caught everyone's attention. Here all the Australia and Pakistan players shook hands with these female members but Rizwan left after greeting them from a distance.
The McGrath Foundation was also the organizer of this test match in Sydney. In fact, for several years now, every Test played in Sydney in January has been organized with support from the McGrath Foundation. This test is intended to raise awareness about breast cancer. Since the wife of legendary Australian bowler Glam McGrath left the world in 2008 because of breast cancer, Cricket Australia and the McGrath Foundation have organized tests in Sydney almost every January to raise awareness of the disease. Due to their commitment to women, the players of both teams wear pink hats and the numbers on the jerseys are also written in pink. It is also called the pink test.
Every year after the Pink Test in Sydney, the McGrath Foundation and female family members meet the players. During one such meeting on Saturday, a video related to Rizwan surfaced. In the video, it can be seen that all the other Pakistani players treat the female players here with great seriousness and warmth, but Rizwan holds back from a distance. However, he can be seen walking past these female members very respectfully with his hands folded. During this time, female members are also seen saying Rizwan Namaste.

Australia had also defeated Pakistan in the first two games of this three-match Test series. In this way, as always, Pakistan had to achieve a clear victory in Australia this time too. This was Pakistan's 17th consecutive defeat in Australia.
