Recently, Australia and Pakistan wrapped up their three-match Test series, with the hosts winning handily 3-0 to secure vital World Test Championship points against Shan Masood and co.
The iconic “Pink Test,” which is held in Sydney to increase awareness of breast cancer, served as the meeting’s finale. Every year, the SCG is painted pink to honor the memory of Glenn McGrath’s late wife Jane and to raise awareness of the illness she had.
The Pakistani team welcomed the family of the former Australian pacer during the New Year’s Test, which created an unusual event on the first day of the third Test. When the other members of the Pakistani squad shook hands with the McGrath family, Mohammad Rizwan chose to meet them with folded hands.

The 31-year-old is frequently observed avoiding eye contact with female anchors and broadcasters during interviews, so this is not the first time Mohammad Rizwan has shunned women. In the meantime, social media has been buzzing with the video of Rizwan refusing to shake hands.
In terms of cricket, Mohammad Rizwan had a successful series even though he was absent from the first Test in Perth, finishing as Pakistan’s top run scorer. With a best of 88, he scored 193 runs at an average of 48.25 in four innings.
Pakistan will now turn their attention to Twenty20 international cricket, where they will play New Zealand in a five-game series starting on Friday, January 12, following their battle with Australia in the longest format. The team’s goal in the World Cup year is to improve upon their performance against the Black Caps in the shortest format after losing to Australia.
