T20 World Cup 2022: PCB reveals Pakistan team's jersey for the tournament

With the nations starting to reveal their new kits for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022, Pakistan have joined the race and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have unveiled Pakistan’s official jersey for the mega ICC event. The images of the new kit have gone viral on social media already with skipper Babar Azam being the heart of the image and the board has made it official.

Vice-captain Shadab Khan and pace sensation Naseem Shah alongside two women’s cricketers have been spotted wearing the new jersey. PCB had earlier initiated about the theme being ‘Thunder’ for the new kit and the design of the jersey to be based on it. Shades of different green, which is dark and light mixed stripes constitutes the new Pakistan ‘jersey’ and recently the leaked images of the jersey had been trolled on social media by the fans. 

The design of the jersey was compared with ‘watermelons’ and it did not excite the Pakistan fans who looked unconvinced on Twitter.  

Here's PCB's tweet:
