NEW DELHI: With the 2022 Men's T20 World Cup, starting in Australia from next month, New Zealand and United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Thursday revealed their official jerseys for the showpiece event. New Zealand, who were the runners-up in T20 World Cup 2021, took to social media to announce their jersey reveal. The shirt design has a retro theme, derived from the combination of shirts worn by the side in the early 1990s.

The shirt has a mix of black and grey with text and lines in white. It also has the fern in white apart from stars in red complimenting the look. New Zealand will open their Men's T20 World Cup campaign in the Super 12 stage in a re-match of the 2021 final against champions Australia on October 22 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

UAE, on the other hand, have gone for a jersey makeover. Departing from their usual colour scheme of black, they have gone with bright magenta and blue colours, which have been 'Inspired by UAE's beautiful winter,' as per the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB).

While the logo's key elements remain untouched, the colour palette incorporates a 'Gold and Sophisticated' look, which aims to honour and aspire to the vision of the country. IANS
