New Zealand Cricket has just unveiled their jersey for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 alongside the announcement of their 15-player squad. They’ve caught the attention of fans with a retro-inspired jersey that pays homage to their 1999 World Cup attire. The new kit, showcased by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) on social media, combines the classic black hues with heritage grey, reminiscent of the jerseys worn in the early 90s. Departing from the usual fern graphic, the design incorporates the Southern Cross, a nod to the nation’s rich heritage.
