ICC World Cup 2019: Team India likely to sport orange jerseys against England

New Delhi, June 4: Team India have been sporting the blue-coloured jerseys ever since the coloured outfits were first introduced in cricket during World Cup 1992 in Australia.

In advance of the event the teams will be notified which coloured kit will be worn in each match."

This new ICC rule implies that other teams who sport say blue jerseys will have to change their colours, especially during matches involving England, who are also sporting blue uniforms. India, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are all having blue uniforms.

India will be facing hosts England on June 30 at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
