India’s changed kit for the upcoming 2019 ICC World Cup clash against England has been revealed with the Men in Blue set to don an orange and navy-blue jersey.
The concept of alternate kits had not really existed in cricket previously but the ICC had introduced a new rule before the start of the World Cup, asking teams to sport home and away jerseys in the tournament.
“For televised ICC events all participating teams will be required to provide for two different coloured kits, except for the host country who has preference in the choice of colour and may, if it chooses to do so, provide only one coloured kit to be worn in all matches throughout the event,” the ICC rule stated.

“In advance of the event, the teams will be notified which coloured kit will be worn in each match.”
With both England and India usually donning a blue jersey, the latter will turn out in their latest orange kit in the clash between the two sides which takes place at Edgbaston on Sunday.
South Africa are one of the sides who have already turned out in their away kit in the ongoing World Cup. Both South Africa and Bangladesh have green traditional jerseys and the Proteas donned a yellow jersey in the clash between the two sides in the early stages of the tournament.
