ICC gives green light to name and jersey number in Tests

India TV News  

Virat Kohli will soon be seen wearing No 18 on his white flannels as the ICC has allowed Test-playing nations to have the players sport their names and numbers on their jerseys. The English county sides, as well as the Australian state sides playing the Sheffield Shield, are used to wearing whites with names and numbers on the back but this will be an altogether new experience for the Indian team, who will play the second Test of the World Championship against West Indies wearing numbered white shirts. It is a part of the wider plan to promote Test cricket," Claire Furlong, ICC's GM Manager told PTI on Friday. It is widely expected that the Indian team in all likelihood will not use two specific jersey numbers in Test cricket -- no 10 which was used by Sachin Tendulkar in limited overs and possibly No 7 used by Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
