CWC 2019: Team India to turn men in orange against England in World Cup 2019

There are speculations in the air that team India may wear a news jersey against Afghanistan on Saturday, but according to sources they are going to sport orange colour jersey only against England on 30th June.

Although Indian cricket kit sponsor Nike has been mum on the issue, various social media platforms have been talking about how India’s new kit would be, sources said that India’s new colour could be orange with a blue stripe on the collar.

According to the new ICC rules, two teams cannot wear same colour kit in a televised game, only the host in this case England can wear their original colour. India’s blue kit which comes with a tinge of orange is now expected to be reserved, which will see the primary colour change to orange. India is expected to wear their new kit in all the away ODI matches against England.

"Till last week, the Indian players had not seen their new jerseys," a senior industry executive revealed.

"There is still confusion among various stakeholders whether the team would actually need to don new colours. For instance, the Pakistan team has been exempted from changing their familiar green although there are teams as Bangladesh, which too, wear green," he added.

Most of the teams in the World Cup have revealed their away kit, with South Africa wearing a predominantly yellow strip against Bangladesh, while Bangladesh added more red to their green. Australia, New Zealand and West Indies have been exempted from having an away kit because of their current ones being different from the others.
