Haarkarjeetgaye Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Heard about this?https://www.mynation.com/cricket/world-cup-2019-saffronisation-indian-jersey-england-psivv5 Get ready to see Indian players in saffron jerseys at the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 in England and Wales. With ICC's new rules coming into effect, India's jersey will change from blue to saffron for the game against England on June 30 London: When India face England at the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019, don’t be surprised if Virat Kohli and his boys are not seen in their blue jerseys. The colour of Indian kit for that game will change from blue to saffron. You would be wondering why there is a sudden change in India’s jersey. But, according to the latest rules adopted by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the teams that sport a similar colour jersey to that of their opposition, will have to adopt a different away kit. Also read: World Cup 2019 format, rain rules, Super Over and other playing conditions In Sunday’s (June 2) clash between South Africa and Bangladesh, the Proteas wore yellow jerseys as their green ones clashed with the Asian side. So, when India take on hosts England on June 30, Kohli and his teammates will sport saffron jerseys since both teams’ original jerseys are blue in colour. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has already chosen the jersey, according to reports. Also read: Full schedule of India matches at World Cup with start times, live TV, streaming info "There has been a lot of talks and speculation and people have been calling it an away jersey. But it isn't. It is an alternate jersey that the team will wear when they play England on June 30. As per the new rules, the hosts get to retain their jersey colour when they play an ICC event. Since India also have a blue jersey like England, there is a slight change in colour," a source explained to IANS news agency. This is a new concept in cricket unlike football where teams have home and away kits. It is for the first time that ICC has decided to change the colour of jerseys of teams playing at its global tournament so that spectators can easily distinguish the teams.

maniac Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Always wondered Aus,Wi have unique standout colors where as a super power like Ind along with middling teams like ,Eng,SL,Afghan all were blue jersey. Nice choice and a true representation of the essence of India. Hope it’s not Dutch orange but pure saffron Suhaan 1 Link to comment
bowl_out Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Nice. Good to see a change from the usual. But reg the rules, why should India change their Jersey color and not England? They do use an alternate red Jersey anyways. Link to comment

Its about Home and Away and England being the host nation get to wear home colors every time. Link to comment
Khota Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I understand that but the acceptable code is Home is white and Away is your team color. Link to comment

Would have preferred some variation of white with blue stripes. Saffron also should be fine, its just one match. It is however strange. Its a 10 nation cup 4 wear blue, 3 wear green and my cell phone boosts of millions of colors. Edited June 5, 2019 by jf1gp_1 philcric 1 Link to comment

Dude how can you wear home colors as white in limited over Cricket? We play LOIs with white ball and not red ball. You can’t have white kits and white ball together. Hence the color clothing. This isn’t basketball or soccer. philcric 1 Link to comment
WC2011INDIA Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Ugly color...India k andar thk but outside...too much. Haarkarjeetgaye 1 Link to comment
gattaca Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Like OP said this is all BJP appeasement. They should get to bottom of this. They should ask lodha commission to investigate. They can also ask Ramchandra Guha and Eduji to investigate this. This govt has been taking over all institutions.

New guy Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Looks like clickbait. Is there any pic of the jersey? Would be nice seeing something other than blue for a change philcric and Clarke 2 Link to comment

And how does that apply for SA v BD? Why did SA have to change colors and not BD? I mean what's the underlying rule Link to comment
bowl_out Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Also why will it be only for one match? What happens in the Afg vs India match or Eng vs Afg match? They won't keep changing Jersey colors in every match. Somehow looks like fake news Link to comment
