Men and women teams from the Indian community and an Indian High Commission team participated in Pink Stumps Day last week in Canberra. They raised about $1100 for McGrath Foundation, which provides nurses for breast cancer patients. Some women cricket players, who participated for the first time, told SBS Hindi that this cause has helped them break mental barriers and brought the community closer. They say it won't be long when the Australian cricket teams have representation from the Indian community. Listen to this podcast to learn more about these women and their initiative.
