PINK DAY: Temba Bavuma and his Proteas to carry cancer survivors' names at Bullring
Proteas superstar Aiden Markram is thrilled to be making his international comeback against Australia in the annual Pink Day fixture at the Wanderers on Sunday.
Proteas captain Temba Bavuma is excited to lead his team in the annual Pink Day fixture against Australia at the Bullring on Sunday. The 31-year-old cricketer has returned to international cricket after a brief pause and will be part of the squad to honor breast cancer survivors. Ryan Rickelton is absent from the match due to personal reasons, allowing Bavuma to come in at the top of the order.
The Proteas celebrate Pink Day by replacing the last names of their players on the back of their shirts with the names of breast cancer fighters or survivors. For Bavuma, this is a chance to show support for those battling the disease, both in the cricketing world and beyond. The special day has become a tradition for Cricket South Africa, with supporters donning pink to show solidarity and appreciation for those who have triumphed over breast cancer.
