Cricketers to play in bright pink

Northern Districts will play their domestic Twenty20 cricket in pink uniforms this summer, supporting the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation.

ND chief executive David Cooper said the change of uniform, from Northern's traditional maroon and gold, had been well-received by players.

Captain James Marshall said his players would wear the vivid pink uniform with pride, "hoping somewhere and sometime our support will make a difference to someone's life".

The Twenty20 competition runs for just over three weeks in January.
