New Zealand Cricket recently revealed their jersey for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 alongside their 15-man squad announcement. The team has captured fans’ attention with a retro-inspired jersey paying tribute to their 1999 World Cup attire.
This newly unveiled kit, showcased by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) on social media, combines the classic black colors with heritage grey, reminiscent of early 90s jerseys. Departing from the usual fern graphic, the design incorporates the Southern Cross as a nod to the nation’s heritage.
“The team’s kit for the 2024 @T20WorldCup. Available at the NZC store from tomorrow,” NZC posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
