The national cricket team’s official kit — Star Nation Jersey — for the highly anticipated upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 was unveiled by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday.
The Jersey, which has a star and Pakistan flag on the chest side, was unveiled during a ceremony held at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
Speaking on the occasion, PCB Management Committee chairman Zaka Ashraf said this jersey represents Pakistan’s spirit and determination as they are already sitting on the number one position in the ODI format.
“We have kept Pakistan’s star and flag on the chest which represents our identity. I am hopeful that our team, who is already number one in ODIs, will win the World Cup in India,” he said.
Pakistan will start their World Cup campaign against the Netherlands on October 6 in Hyderabad. They will play against their arch-rivals India in a much-awaited contest on October 14 in Ahmedabad.
