On the eve of the second Test between Australia and Pakistan in Sydney, the Pakistan cricket team received a heartwarming surprise with the presence of Will Symonds, the son of the late Andrew Symonds. Will had a unique opportunity to interact with the players and support staff, joining them in a special training session at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
During the session, Will actively participated in the team huddle, and he also had a conversation with Pakistan's batting coach, Adam Hollioke. Expressing his love for cricket, Will mentioned that he plays school cricket and occasionally practices with his mother in the nets.
In a delightful moment, Will revealed his favorite Pakistan players from the training session, including former captain Babar Azam, wicketkeeper-batsman Muhammad Rizwan, and fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi.
This heartening interaction took place as Pakistan prepares for the third and final Test of the series against Australia, aiming to bounce back after trailing 0-2. The Sydney Cricket Ground will host the Pink Test, an annual event dedicated to 'Jane McGrath Day,' spreading awareness about breast cancer. The iconic venue will turn pink in honor of Glenn McGrath's late wife, Jane, who bravely fought breast cancer.
