London: England have launched their official jersey for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup. The kit has shades of England's 1992 World Cup jersey don by Ian Botham and Graham Gooch nearly 30 years ago.
England reached the final of the 1992 World Cup and will look to make the same kind of performance.
Cricket World Cup's official twitter handle tweeted a photo of current English team captain Eoin Morgan and 1992 WC captain Iam Botham drawing a comparison between England's 1992 WC kit and 2019 WC kit. The tweet reads," England go retro! 👌 Shades of 1992 in 2019 kit! Will they make the final again?."

- Kit description
The almost completely sky-blue top comes with stripes across the shoulders in different shades of blue, with red weaved between the lines.
Earlier this week, the selection of the poster boy Archer came in as no surprise as many cricket experts predicted that the all-rounder will be picked up in the England squad for the 2019 World Cup. The Barbados-born speedster, 24, was named in the 15-man group at David Willey's expense.
