SCG will turn pink for South Africa Test

Pink stumps will be used at the SCG for the third South Africa Test and the players will also wear the logo of the McGrath Foundation, the Daily Telegraph reports. Glenn McGrath’s wife Jane died from cancer earlier in the year and he was at the ground for the announcement of the support for his charity.

The third day of the Test, which has traditionally been known as Ladies Day, will now be called Jane McGrath Day and McGrath said he was "blown away'' by the support for the foundation. "It will be amazing to walk out there and see everything is pink and I am not sure how I will feel on that first day of play,” he said. “Jane would have been so proud.”
