Team Jersey

England cricket wears a white uniform featuring the three-lion badge on the left of the shirt and the name and logo of the sponsor NatWest on the right while playing Test cricket. Helmets are coloured in navy blue. The uniform was with the TCCB lion and stumps logo on the uniforms before 1997, whereas the helmets, jumpers, and hats had the three lion’s emblem.

The team has always been in unity, and have shown some of the brilliant skills in fielding, and batting. We hope to keep seeing the team on the ground with the same passion. With all the love, and support the team will surely deliver the best, and will not disappoint its fans. 

Currently, there is no news about the match but let’s hope soon a match will happen, and the stadium will be fully covered with the fans.
