India's new jersey revealed for World Cup 2019
Team India will take the field with their orange jersey on June 30 against England in the CWC 2019.
Team India might not be seen in their trademark blue jersey when the team face England on June 30 in the World Cup 2019. The side will sport an orange jersey, keeping in mind the away-home format that the ICC had incorporated for the edition.
Colour options were given to BCCI and they chose the colour combination that looked the best to them. The whole idea is to be different from blue as England also wears the same shade of blue as India," an ICC source told ANI.
"Also the design (orange) is taken from India's old T20 jersey which had orange in it. The designers who are sitting in the USA designed this jersey from something that already existed and not something completely new that fans don't identify with," the source added.
Before the start of the World Cup, the ICC introduced a rule where all teams had to sport home and away jerseys.
The ICC rule reads: "For televised ICC events all participating teams will be required to provide for two different coloured kits, except for the host country who has preference in the choice of colour and may, if it chooses to do so, provide only one coloured kit to be worn in all matches throughout the event. In advance of the event, the teams will be notified which coloured kit will be worn in each match."
South Africa, who generally wear green with yellow, wore the reverse when they clashed with Bangladesh. Afghanistan, who wear blue, wore a jersey that had more red in a few games.
India take on England on June 30, and they are likely to wear the jersey then as both sides usually wear blue.
