Proteas’ Cricket World Cup kit revealed
The national men's side has unveiled the strip they will wear at the upcoming Cricket World Cup in India.
The Proteas’ 2023 ODI World Cup shirt features a new sponsor on the leading sleeve.
Amul, India’s largest fast-moving consumer goods brand, has become the Proteas’ first shirt sponsor since Standard Bank opted not to renew its title sponsorship deal in April 2020 due to Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) boardroom battles.
CSA is reportedly set to earn $3m (about R56m) from the Amul deal.

“The partnership is a significant boost for the Proteas as they prepare to compete on the global stage, aiming to clinch the coveted World Cup trophy.”
