And, the kit is already available on pre-order to cricket fans, at a cost of R750 per shirt for adults, while the kids’ shirts will set you back R650. They’re available on the CSA website shop by clicking here.

The new Proteas playing strip was revealed during the CSA T20 Challenge final between Lions and Dolphins at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Sunday.

The kit was produced in collaboration with CSA’s official technical partner Lotto Sport and is predominantly gold with contrasting bright green sleeves and collar. Paying homage to South Africa’s heritage, the national flag cuts across the shoulders, with the Protea flower subtly featuring on the torso.

At the upcoming T20 World Cup, South Africa are drawn in Group D with Bangladesh, Nepal, Netherlands and Sri Lanka, who they begin their campaign against on June 3 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York at 4.30pm (SA time).
