Australia and Pakistan recently concluded their ongoing three-game Test series and it was quite a dominant one for hosts who clean swept Shan Masood and Co. 3-0 to earn crucial World Test Championship points.

The final encounter in Sydney was the famous ‘Pink Test’, which is organised to raise breast cancer awareness. The SCG turns pink to every year commemorate Glenn McGrath's wife Jane's demise and spreading awareness about the disease she suffered from. 

Meanwhile, there was a peculiar moment on the opening day of the third Test when the Pakistan squad greeted the former Australian pacer's family during the New Year’s Test. While all the members of Pakistan team greeted McGrath family with handshakes, Mohammad Rizwan avoided the same and met them folded hands.

This is not the first time Rizwan avoided contact with women as the 31-year-old is often seen avoiding eye contact with female anchors and broadcasters durings interviews. Meanwhile, the clip of Rizwan avoiding handshake has been doing the rounds all over social media.

On the cricketing front, Rizwan had a good time in the series as he finished as the highest run-scorer for Pakistan despite missing the first Test in Perth. In four innings, he scored 193 runs at an average of 48.25, with a best of 88.

Meanwhile, after their tussle against the Aussies in the longest format, Pakistan will now shift their focus to T20I cricket as they will face New Zealand in a five-game series, slated to begin from Friday, January 12. After losing to Australia, the team will hope to put a better performance against the Black Caps in the shortest format in the World Cup year.
