Indian Cricket Team's new jersey unveiled

Wednesday, February 18, 2009

New Delhi (24/7 News Network) : Sahara India will continue to be the sponsor of Team India, but the Men in Blue have taken a new attire to change their look and get a perfect makeover yet again. This is the second time in two years Indian cricket team has gone for a change in jersey. The new jersey of Team India was unveiled in a glittering function in New Delhi today. The function was held on the eve of India's departure to New Zealand to play in 3 test matches, 5 ODIs and 2 Twenty20 games. Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Zaheer Khan, Yuvraj Singh, Dinesh Karthik, Pragyan Oha and Rohit Sharma unveiled the new jersey. Former cricketers Venkatesh Prasad, Vinod Kambli, Robin Singh and Laxman Sivaramakrishnan were also present at this special occasion, but they wore the old jersey.

Ponting may miss IPL II

KOLKATA: With the second season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) set to begin on April 10, Team Kolkata management is working overtime on the possible permutations and combinations regarding their foreign recruitments and their availability depending on ICC's Future Tours Programme (FTP). The bone of contention for Shahrukh Khan's men is the availability of Ricky Ponting and David Hussey who are unlikely to arrive before the second week of May. The tentative date for the final of IPL II is May 24. If Australia's next two assignments - tour of South Africa and the ODI series against Pakistan - are any indicator, the duo may be available at the most for five matches (three league matches and semifinal and final provided Team Kolkata qualify). Australia finish their tour of South Africa on April 17 and head for Dubai where they finish their five-match series tentatively by May 10.
