Global athletic footwear and apparel brand New Balance unveiled the new 2019 England World Cup and One Day International (ODI) kit at a Festival of Cricket event in east London on Tuesday evening.
Channelling the spirit of the 1992 kit which carried England to the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup, captain Eoin Morgan and his side will be hoping to go one better this year with the tournament staged on home soil.
This summer represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the England team on home soil. Hopefully we’ll see the stands packed with fans all wearing the new shirt and cheering us on.

England’s players have worked directly with New Balance development team to test and select fabrics that are comfortable to perform in with a view to enhancing performance.
1992 was the first year in which teams were permitted to take to the field in different coloured kits, catapulting the England shirt into the hearts of fans and players alike.
Liam Burns, sports marketing manager, New Balance said: “The 1992 kit is one of the most-loved and iconic shirts in English cricket history and with 2019 being such an exciting year for cricket in the UK, it seemed the perfect opportunity to put a modern spin on the famous shirt.
“The buttons and the collar give the shirt a smarter feel and the heritage factor allowing fans to style the shirt away from the stadium, as well as showing their support at matches.”
Morgan added: “This summer represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the England team on home soil and having the support of the country will be crucial. Hopefully we’ll see the stands packed with fans all wearing the new shirt and cheering us on.”
