    The new jersey will be worn by the Indian women’s team during their upcoming three-match home series against the West Indies, scheduled to start from December 22, 2024, in Baroda. The team will also host Ireland for ODIs in January 2025, as part of the ICC Women’s Championship, which serves as a qualification platform for next year’s ODI World Cup in India1.

    Harmanpreet added, “Wearing a jersey is by itself a special feeling always. There is a lot of hard work that has gone into making this jersey. Hopefully, the Indian fans will make it their own and feel proud wearing it3.”

    The unveiling event was attended by key figures from Indian cricket, highlighting the significance of the new design. The tri-colour gradient on the shoulders is a departure from the previous version, which had only the iconic three stripes in whites2. This new design aims to evoke a sense of national pride among players and fans alike.

    The Indian women’s team will first wear the new ODI jersey in their tour of Australia, starting with the first ODI on December 5, 2024, at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane. The second ODI will be held on December 8, 2024, also in Brisbane, and the third and final ODI will take place on December 11, 2024, at the WACA Stadium in Perth3.

    The team’s tour of Australia is eagerly anticipated, as it provides an opportunity to showcase the new jersey on an international platform. Fans are excited to see how the team performs in their new attire and are looking forward to the matches against Australia and West Indies.

    Harmanpreet’s leadership and the team’s performance in the new jersey will be closely watched by cricket enthusiasts and fans across the country. The unveiling of the new ODI jersey marks a significant step in enhancing the visual appeal of Indian cricket uniforms while maintaining comfort and performance standards.

    As the team prepares for their upcoming series, the focus will be on delivering strong performances and making the fans proud. The new jersey is expected to add an element of freshness and motivation as the team aims for victory in the competitive series.
