New Zealand will be eyeing a historic first title in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023. The Black Caps are yet to lay their hands on the ODI World Cup.

They have been one of the most consistent sides in the ODIs in recent years but have failed to go all the way in the marquee event. In the last two editions, they were agonizingly close to winning the World Cup but ended up on the losing side in the final. In 2015, the Kiwis lost to Australia in the final before going down against England four years later.

Kane Williamson & Co. are one of the favourites for the upcoming World Cup too and will be desperate to put behind the disappointment of the last two World Cups by winning the upcoming event. And ahead of the ODI World Cup, the Black Caps have released their jersey for the event.

The Kiwis have stuck with their traditional black and grey jersey, where black serves as the primary color and grey has been used for the stripes. The New Zealand Cricket logo is located on the top left of the jersey, while the World Cup 2023 logo is positioned on the right side.
