Revealing the news, the notable sports journalist and also the broadcaster, Chetan Narula tweeted saying ”Since this is a World Cup year… Team India’s new Nike ODI jersey to be launched in Hyderabad on March 1.”

India is the favourites for ICC World Cup 2019:

Of late,  the Indian National Cricket Team is performing exceptionally in all conditions. They have got the best batting lineup, which is equally being backed up by the bowling department. The area for improvement is pretty low, which would certainly put them on top of the chart.

Going by the recent opinions from the former cricketers, the excessive votes came in favour of England and India. A lot of former cricketers and analysts believe that both countries would reach the final of the tournament.

The tournament begins from May 30 and will be played in England and Wales. While India will be looking for their third title – after success in 1983 (under Kapil Dev’s captaincy) and 2011 (under Mahendra Singh Dhoni); England is hoping to pick up their first silverware.

Apart from India, the England and Wales Cricket Board got a settled squad in the ODI format with all the departments being covered with the eligible players. The home conditions will also put them as one of the favourites to win the tournament.
