I think it's great having the Indigenous artwork on the kit: Mitchell Starc

Meanwhile, reflecting on the overall design of the new Australia jerseys, most of the players seemed happy with how the design has come up especially just before the coveted ODI World Cup 2023. In the same vein, the Australian gun bowler, Mitchell Starc, said that the jerseys were inspired by the artwork of the indigenous people.

It is worth mentioning that for quite a considerable time, Cricket Australia have been working relentlessly to bridge the gap between the common Australian masses with the indigenous communities across the country and have been promoting the message of harmony and equal rights by including their culture and art on the national jerseys. Moreover, the Australian board also making these moves in a bid to give a fitting tribute to the present, emerging and past First Nations cricketers.

"I think it's great having the Indigenous artwork on the kit. We've been pushing for that for a long time and now to have it represented on the uniform for all three formats is fantastic," Starc was quoted as saying by Cricket.com.au.

"It's a fantastic progression and all the players are proud to wear it. Wearing the Aussie kit is a proud moment for anyone. I've been very fortunate and humble to be able to wear the kit for a long time," the pacer concluded.
