Chandigarh, August 21

On the eve of the first Test match against West Indies, the Indian cricket team has unveiled their new jerseys.

The Indian cricket team’s jerseys will have the player’s name and number along with the Test Championship logo. 

Pictures of the latest jerseys were posted on the Indian cricket team’s Instagram handle on Wednesday. 

Sharing a series of pictures from their warm-up sessions, they wrote: “Snapshots from #TeamIndia's warm-up game against WI A. The first Test starts on 22nd August.”

The Men in Blue will begin their World Test Championship journey with two-Test match series against West Indies starting from August 22.

Earlier this year, the International Cricket Council (ICC) allowed Test-playing nations to have the players sport their names and numbers on their jerseys.

The ICC move is aimed at popularising the longest format of the game.

England and Australia became the first two cricketing nations to wear names and numbers on their jerseys for the first time in the 142-year history of Test cricket.
