TEAM INDIA GOES RETRO: Team India to wear retro jersey in WTC final; check out Ravindra Jadeja's post

New Delhi, May 29:  Indian cricket team is going to wear the special retro jersey in the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand which will begin from June 18 in Southampton, England. India left-arm spinner and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja shared the photo on Twitter and he captioned the post as: "Rewind to 90's #lovingit #India. 

 

 

 

The sleeveless sweater that Jadeja is seen wearing has no logo of any sponsor understandably since the World Test Championship final is an International Cricket Council (ICC) event and an individual team's sponsor cannot be displayed. The sweater donned by Jadeja has a blue V-neck border, that used to be a regular feature in the longest format till the 90s.

 

 

 

The final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) between India and New Zealand will be staged in a bio-secure environment at the Hampshire Bowl in Southampton from June 18 to 22. For the tournament, India will travel to England on June 3. The players will undergo a 10-day quarantine on arrival in Southampton ahead of the WTC final.

 

"As per the bio-safety protocols established for the event, in line with UK government and Public Health England requirements, the Indian Men's team will arrive in the UK on 3 June 2021 via a charter flight and carrying evidence of a negative PCR Test," ICC said in an official release.

 

 

Before traveling, the Indian team will have spent 14 days in a bio-secure environment in India during which regular testing will have taken place. Upon landing, they will proceed directly to the on-site hotel at the Hampshire Bowl where they will be tested again before commencing a period of managed isolation.

 

Regular tests will be conducted during the period of isolation. Players' activity will be allowed in a gradually increasing manner after each round of negative testing, moving from exercise in isolation to small group and then larger squad activity, whilst always remaining within the bio-secure venue.
