Ashes: Mcgrath Tests Positive For Covid-19 Ahead Of Pink Test At Sydney
Former Australia pacer Glenn McGrath has tested positive for COVID-19, just three days before the Pink Test in the Ashes starts at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). The Pink Test is played annually at the SCG in memory of McGrath's late wife Jane, who died of breast cancer in 2008.
The year-opener Pink Test in Australia serves as a major fundraising initiative for the McGrath Foundation to help families of those suffering from the dreaded disease and the nurses supporting them. The third day of the Pink Test is known as 'Jane McGrath Day' and it is yet to be known if McGrath tests negative in time to attend the third day at the SCG. As of now, McGrath will have a virtual presence when both Australia and England will be presented with pink caps.
