India Today can confirm that Virat Kohli’s men will be wearing the orange coloured jerseys against England. The splattering of blue is expected to be the colour of the collar of the said new jersey.

South Africa changed the colour of their shirts from green to yellow for their second World Cup 2019 match against Bangladesh who also wear green kits on June 2. Bangladesh had also unveiled an away kit with a dominant red colour.

India have so far won 3 games against South Africa, Australia and Pakistan while the match against New Zealand was washed out due to rain.

Afghanistan might have to change their kits on Saturday as both India and Afghanistan don blue jerseys. According to ICC schedule of World Cup 2019, the upcoming match in Southampton will be treated as a home game for India.

Afghanistan had already announced their away kit which has red dominating the splattering of blue on their shirts.

However Virat Kohli and Co. are yet to see their new jerseys.

“Till last week, the Indian players had not seen their new jerseys,” an executive quoted.

“There is still confusion among various stakeholders whether the team would actually need to don new colours,” he added.

This will be the first time that India may be seen sporting two different jerseys in World Cup after the ICC introduced the concept of home and away ‘jerseys’ for this year’s World Cup.
