NEW DELHI:
New Zealand
and

have revealed their
jerseys
for the upcoming
ICC T20 World Cup
, scheduled to commence on June 1 in the West Indies and the USA.
The New Zealand Cricket (NZC) official handle showcased the jersey on Monday, featuring a colour scheme reminiscent of their 1990s kits.
"The team's kit for the 2024 @T20WorldCup Available at the NZC store from tomorrow.

In the upcoming tournament, New Zealand are placed in Group C alongside West Indies, Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea, and Uganda. Their opening match is scheduled against Afghanistan on June 7.
South Africa also unveiled their jersey on Sunday, featuring a predominantly yellow colour with the colours of their national flag on the shoulder area. The King Protea, South Africa's national flower, is prominently displayed on the shirt.
South Africa failed to qualify for the semifinals in the previous
T20 World Cup
