New Zealand Unveils New Kit for World Cup 2023
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has revealed its new kits. The much-awaited cricket event is set to commence on October 5 in India. The NZC made the announcement via their social media platforms, where they shared images of the new jersey. The kit is primarily black and features a series of vertical lines.
The New Zealand team, also known as the Black Caps, will begin their World Cup journey against England in the opening match. This game is scheduled to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Earlier this month, New Zealand announced its robust 15-member squad for the prestigious event. The team will be led by Kane Williamson, and the announcement was made in a unique, family-oriented manner. Family members of the cricketers, from children to grandparents, revealed the squad members by announcing their respective ODI cap numbers.
The Kiwis are looking to bounce back from a recent 3-1 defeat against England in a four-match 50-over series, which served as preparation for the World Cup 2023. However, the return of Kane Williamson to the squad has boosted morale, and the team is eager to put on a strong performance and claim the title.
New Zealand has had a history of reaching the finals in the ODI World Cups, having qualified in 2015 and 2019. Despite their efforts, they have yet to secure their maiden title, having lost to Australia and England in the past. The unveiling of the new kit marks another step towards their campaign for victory in the 2023 World Cup.
