LAHORE (The Thursday Times) — Pakistan ne Itwar ko Gaddafi Stadium mein England ke khilaf apne riwayati sabz libas ki jagah gulabi libas pehna, kyunke Pakistan Cricket Board ne ODI tri-series ke dauran Breast Cancer Awareness Day manaya.
PCB ka kehna hai ke yeh muhim, jo dunya bhar mein manaye jane wale Pinktober awareness maheene ka hissa hai, jaldi tashkhees, baqaida screening aur waqt par ilaj ki hauslafzai karne aur Pakistan bhar mein is beemari ke bare mein aagahi barhane ke liye hai. England ke khilariyon, match officials aur commentators ne mareezon aur beemari se bach jane walon se yakjehti ke liye gulabi ribbon lagaye, stumps ko gulabi rang diya gaya, aur stadium mein gulabi graphics aur branding bhi nazar aayi.
Aik aisa platform jo karoron logon tak pahunchta hai
PCB ke Director Commercial Ali Adnan Zaidi ne kaha ke cricket karoron logon tak pahunchne ka taqatwar platform hai, aur is muhim ka maqsad is rasai ko aagahi aur shirkat mein badalna hai. Chief Operating Officer Sumair Ahmed Syed ne kaha ke Pakistan mein khel ke chahne walon ki bohat bari tadad ke saath yeh zimmedari bhi aati hai ke is ke asar ko istemal kiya jaye, board ke bayan ke mutabiq.
Cricket calendar par gulabi din
Pakistan ki team pehle bhi gulabi theme wale matches mein shareek ho chuki hai, aksar Johannesburg ke Wanderers mein South Africa ke saalana Pink Day ODI mein, jahan mezban team gulabi libas pehnti hai. Fakhar Zaman ne 2021 mein is match mein 193 runs banaye, magar Pakistan 17 runs se haar gaya, jabke 2024 mein Pakistan ne yeh match 36 runs se jeet liya. Pakistan ne pichhle saal South Africa ke khilaf T20I series ke dauran bhi gulabi din manaya tha.
Sydney Cricket Ground ka saalana Pink Test McGrath Foundation ke liye funds jama karta hai, jo cancer ki dekh bhaal karne wala khairati idara hai aur jise Glenn aur Jane McGrath ne qaim kiya tha.
Ab tak series ka haal
Itwar ka match Pakistan aur England ke darmiyan teen mulki series ka doosra muqabla hai, jis mein Sri Lanka bhi shamil hai. Shaheen Shah Afridi ki qiyadat wali team ne Mangal ko Rawalpindi mein England ko 87 runs se shikast di thi. Sab se upar rehne wali do teams 31 October ko Gaddafi Stadium mein final mein aamne samne hongi.
