A thousand Australian community cricket clubs will turn on the hot pink in February to help the McGrath Foundation raise funds to place McGrath Breast Care nurses in communities across Australia and increase breast awareness in young Australian women.
Former Seaford Tiger-turned-Saint, Jack Lonie, will also take part in the match.
“It is great that St Kilda players and staff are able to get involved and give something back to the local community,” Lonie told SAINTS.com.au
“It will be a bit weird going up against my old club but it will be good to see some familiar faces and hopefully we can take it up to them!”
Jamie Cox, Jack Billings, Luke Dunstan and Jack Sinclair will all join Lonie in dusting off the pads for the special match.
Cox played First Class cricket for almost 20 years and was more recently an Australian selector. He has played more Sheffield Shield games than any other player in the history of Australian cricket.
