India captain Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh were seen dressed up in new colours as they posed for cameras.

Speculation was rife that India wouldn't be wearing jerseys that feature the Pakistan imprint as part of the official logo of the tournament. However, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed to India Today that the Indian team will adhere to the guidelines of the ICC.
It’s the first time in recent times that India’s jersey has Pakistan’s name printed on it, as during the Asia Cup 2023, which was also played in Pakistan, none of the teams had the hosts’ name on their jerseys.
