New Zealand cricket team, which is currently in India for the three-match One Day International (ODI) and three-match T20 International, will not wear their traditional ‘Black Coloured’ jersey during T20 Internationals against Virat Kohli-led ‘Men in Blue’ starting November 1 in New Delhi. The team will now wear a new jersey with a grey-black combination.

New Zealand’s feisty opener Martin Guptill shared a picture of the New Zealand national cricket team’s latest jersey for the T20I format on Instagram.

He captioned the image as: “What do we think about the @blackcapsnz new T20 kit for the next couple of years?
