Washing disaster- white t shirt now pink!!

Can anyone help me? My Hs beloved Sri Lanken cricket shirt (which my brother bought him whilst on holiday, and it is a perfect fit, unlike most of his shirts) has gone pink thanks to my inability to seperate the whites from the colours.

It is a white t-shirt with blue print on the main body, and blue arms. Is there anyway that I could bleach the white, without affecting the rest of the shirt, or is this a lost cause???

    Don't dry it....
    Try soaking and re-washing.
    I'm sure there will be better advice soon, but keep it wet until then.

    How about soaking in Napisan or Ace bleach! ( It isnt a full bleach but a good aid to remove stains)

    I use the colour run remover dylon make, doesn't always get them brilliant white again, but white enough for noone to notice.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Follow that up with Glo-white net curtain whitener, and it should get it back to white.
