Pakistan keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan caught eyeballs after he refused to shake hands with female members of Australian bowling legend Glenn McGrath's family during the recently concluded Pink Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
The SCG Test was the iconic Pink Test, which is organized by the McGrath Foundation to spread awareness about breast cancer after the legendary pacer lost his wife Jane to the ailment in 2008. It encourages fans to wear pink on Day 3 of the year's first Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
During the third day’s play at the SCG, the Pakistan team was seen meeting and greeting, shaking hands with the family members of Glenn McGrath and Mohammad Rizwan refused to shake hands with the female members of the family.
Instead, Rizwan chose to fold his hands in Namaste to greet the ladies, who graciously reciprocated the gesture.
Here is the video:
Meanwhile, Pakistan suffered their 7th white-wash in Tests in Australia and extended their run of losses in red-ball matches down under to 17 straight Tests. Shan Masood and company lost the third Test by eight wickets, failing to defend a 130-run target in the final innings.
