Hyderabad: The Indian cricket team will be wearing 1992-style retro jersey for the upcoming One Day International (ODI) and T20 series against Australia.
Some media reports claimed that the Men in Blue will be donning new jersey in the white-ball format and their attire is seemingly inspired from 1992 World Cup kit.
The focus will now shift towards Australia tour after the just-concluded Indian Premier League even as the team will look to build on the historic win in the Test series in 2019. The side has already departed for the two-month-long tour on Wednesday.
The new kit will have a navy blue shade, a shift from the conventional sky blue colour that the team has been wearing in recent years.
Meanwhile, Cricket Australia on Wednesday also confirmed that their men's team will be wearing 'indigenous' jersey in the upcoming three-match T20I series against India.
The shirt will continue the storytelling of the first-ever Australian team to tour overseas in 1868. Back then, the team had made a three-month-long journey to the United Kingdom by sea and played 47 matches at some of the most famous grounds in world cricket.
Upon landing, the Indian team will undergo a 14-day quarantine period during which they will be allowed to train.
Indian will play three ODIs, as many T20s and four Tests starting November 27. The ODI and T20 series will be played in Sydney and Canberra from November 27 to December 8.
