The match is set to be David Warner’s farewell Test as he will retire from the red-ball format at his home ground, Sydney Cricket Ground. The southpaw has amassed 8,695 runs in 111 Test matches, scoring 26 centuries with a top score of 335*.
It's David Warner's farewell at the SCG but also another chance to get behind the McGrath Foundation, which has set an ambitious and important fundraising target for the 16th Pink Test 👏

‘Unite in Pink’ is the slogan this time around. Unity is being promoted so that cancer patients are treated equally and not segregated from the community if they are facing a medical issue.
We visited the @scg today to officially launch our 2024 Virtual Pink Seats ahead of the @nrmaisnurance #PinkTest! A huge thank you to our incredible friends at @cricketaus and @scg for uniting in pink with us and helping to ensure no one misses out on care. 🏏 #McGrathFoundation pic.twitter.com/3xnl43WvDi

A new concept of ‘Virtual Pink Seat’ is being introduced. Virtual Pink Seats exist on the web and aren’t a physical ticket to the game. With a purchase of the seat, the McGrath Foundation will send the purchaser a personalized and shareable Pink Seat which can be shared and shown on an individual’s social media accounts.
