One stand in Sydney has been named the Jane McGrath stand in tribute to her. The first Jane McGrath Test match took place in 2009 and it was the game between South Africa and Australia. The Jane McGrath day sees massive crowds at the SCG and it is one of the showpiece events of the day after the Boxing Day Test. (Image credit: Twitter)

The coronavirus pandemic has limited the number of fans who could attend the game in Sydney. However, with masks and hope, fans still attended the Jane McGrath day and also helped raise donations in a significant manner. (Image credit: Twitter)

The statement by the Jane McGrath foundation on Cricket Australia always states, “McGrath Foundation raises funds to place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia, so people can access them for free. When the people the foundation cares about are in need, McGrath Breast Care Nurses are there for support. (Image credit: Twitter)

The Australian cricket team as well as the Australian public have always supported the Jane McGrath day in earnest and despite the pandemic, there will be no disappointments when it comes to fund-raising. The Jane McGrath day is a novel way to ensure that awareness and funds can be created by using the right medium of a cricket match. (Image credit: Twitter)
