MUMBAI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah confirmed on Monday that adidas will be the new kit sponsor for Team India.
Shah took to Twitter to confirm the change in sponsor. He tweeted: “I’m pleased to announce @BCCI’s partnership with @adidas as a kit sponsor. We are committed to growing the game of cricket and could not be more excited to partner with one of the world’s leading sportswear brands. Welcome aboard, @adidas”.
The current sponsor – Killer Jeans – will only have the sponsorship rights till May 31, following which adidas will take over. Before Killer Jeans, MPL was the kit sponsor for the Indian team and it had transferred the rights to Kewal Kiran Clothing Limit in December last year.
The upcoming World Test Championship final is expected to see the Indian team wear the new adidas Kits. India will be hosting the ICC ODI World Cup this year from October-November. The team is scheduled to play a number of ODIs before where the new blue-coloured kits will be seen.
