Ashes 2025-26: What is the Pink Test?

Advertisements

The ‘Pink Test’ is an annual cricket tradition dedicated to raising awareness and funds for cancer treatment during the Sydney Test match in Australia.

The event pays tribute to Jane McGrath, the wife of former Australian cricketer, Glenn, who died in 2008 from breast cancer.

Jane was a prominent cancer support campaigner and established a foundation in 2005 to raise money to fund breast cancer care nurses in Australia.

Glenn is widely regarded as one of the best pace bowlers of all time. He took 563 wickets in 124 Tests for Australia and he was the most successful quick bowler in history when he retired in 2007.

England’s James Anderson and Stuart Broad have both surpassed him since, and he is seventh on the all-time list now.

This year’s event will take place on day three of the fifth Ashes Test between England and Australia.

The Test starts on 4 January (23:30 GMT, 3 January), so Jane McGrath day, will be on Tuesday, 6 January.

Australia lead the five-match series 3-1 and regained the Ashes after winning the first three Tests.
