Cricket SA unveils Proteas' kit for T20 World Cup

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has unveiled the Proteas' playing kit for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup set to be held in the West Indies and USA from 1-29 June.

The playing strip was revealed during Sunday's CSA T20 Challenge final between Lions and Dolphins at the Wanderers Stadium, which saw Bjorn Fortuin's Lions lift the trophy.

The kit was produced in collaboration with CSA's official technical partner Lotto Sport and is predominantly gold with contrasting bright green sleeves and collar.

The shirt pays homage to South Africa's heritage with the national flag cutting across the shoulders and the Protea flower subtly featuring on the torso.

"Lotto Sport has delivered yet another world-class playing strip following the success of the 50-over World Cup design and we're excited to see the Proteas don the new kit on the global stage at the T20 World Cup in June," said CSA chief executive officer Pholetsi Moseki.

"In the game of cricket, every stitch and every seam on a jersey tells a tale; a tale of ambition, a tale of inspiration, a tale of hope woven in every victory and setback.

"We wanted to ensure the kit design embodied the Proteas men's journey thus far, as they stand on the verge of a new era - an era characterised by an unshakeable spirit of optimism, commitment, determination and excellence."
