Cricketers or models?

I was disappointed to see the new uniform of the Indian cricket team. The name of the sponsors Sahara is more prominent than the name of the country on the new jerseys.

nothing but disrespect for the nation. Clearly, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCC1) has little regard for our country.

Cricketers and the management are swept by the commercialisation of the game. It's a matter of shame that advertisers are given so much importance.

The colours of the tri-colour are just splashed on the jersey to make it look trendy. The new jersey needs to be redesigned.The tri-colour should be placed prominently on it. Our country's name should be printed in bold and in a bigger font than that of the sponsors Sahara.u00a0u00a0

The BCCI should realise that the jersey is a uniform for our nation's cricketers, who are not on the field to make a fashion statement. Also, the Indian cricketers should not forget that they are sports persons and not fashion models.
