Commonwealth Games 2022 Something is going to happen in me, which has never happened before. Women’s cricket has been included for the first time in these games starting in Birmingham. 8 teams including India, Australia, England are participating in the games this time. Eyes will be on everyone, but for Hindustani fans, all attention Indian women’s cricket team But it is natural to stay. Team India will face Australia in the first match on Friday. In this match, Team India will be seen in such a way, which has never been seen before. Let us tell you about it here before the match.
All cricket matches of the Commonwealth Games will be played at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. The first match will be between India and world champion Australia. When the Indian team will come on the field for this match, the color and form of their jersey will change slightly. Although the color will remain blue, but its design and its picture will be completely different. Now you would think that why?
Team India jersey changed
The answer is something like this – in fact Indian cricket teams, both men and women, mainly work under the contract of BCCI and thus the players’ jerseys bear the BCCI logo. Also, the names and logos of the sponsors of BCCI are included in those jerseys. Now the matter of Commonwealth Games (or Olympic or Asian Games) is different. Here the players enter the field not under the name of their respective federation, but under the Indian Olympic Association.
Therefore, they can use only those jerseys or kits, which are recognized by the IOA. Also, instead of having the name or logo of a federation, only the name of India and the name of those games (CWG in this case) are written.
Let The Games Begin!

BCCI also showed a glimpse of what kind of jersey the Indian team would wear. The situation of cricket teams of not only India but other countries is also similar.
These kits are all kinds of elite!

New experience for players and fans
This sight is completely new in cricket. Although cricket got a place in the CWG in 1998 and it happened even then, but after that cricket never became a part of any multi-sport event and hence this picture will be a new experience in itself for cricket fans. Not only the fans, but it will be a different experience for the players as well.
