West Indies players received their official T20 World Cup kits ahead of the commencement of the tournament. The Caribbean Islands and the USA will host the event between June 2 and 29.
The Windies team hosted South Africa for a 3-match T20I series recently. They beat the African team convincingly with a clean sweep series win to enter the World Cup high on confidence.
The Rovman Powell-led side are placed in Group C during the preliminary stage. Their campaign in the tournament will begin on June 2 with a clash against Papua New Guinea in Guyana. The Men in Maroon will face Uganda at the same venue on June 8 before traveling to Trinidad to face New Zealand on June 12. They will square off against Afghanistan in their final group fixture on June 17 in St. Lucia.
Windies Cricket’s official X handle shared a video recently to give a glimpse of the official kit distribution ceremony for the coming World Cup. In it, team management members, Darren Sammy, and others could be seen distributing the kits to players.
