WATCH: Mohammad Rizwan refuses to shake hands with female members of Glenn McGrath’s family at the SCG

NEW DELHI: Australia comfortably clinched an emphatic eight-wicket triumph against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday, solidifying a flawless 3-0 Test series sweep over the Green Shirts. This marked Australia’s 17th consecutive Test victory over Pakistan, a streak initiated during the current series in Melbourne over the Christmas period.
During the the Pink Test at the SCG, Pakistan’s cricketers engaged in warm greetings and handshakes with members of McGrath’s family.
When Rizwan approached a female member of the family, the Pakistani wicket-keeper batter respectfully folded his hands in a gesture of reverence.

In a gracious reply, she reciprocated his respectful gesture.
The Pink Test, organised by the McGrath Foundation, serves as a platform to raise awareness about breast cancer, commemorating the passing of McGrath’s wife, Jane, in 2008.
