For the first time in the cricket history, the names of the players will be seen along with their numbers on their white jerseys of the Test playing nations with the recent decision took by ICC. This rule will come into action with the historical 'Ashes’ tournament that will take place between England and Australia.
Till now, the names of the players appear on the jersey in the limited overs cricket only and with the Test championship to follow in the July and August this year to the 2021where the final will be held, ICC took this decision for the red ball cricket too.
Now, the biggest question is, how BCCI responds on this new inference by ICC. ICC is the chief body and BCCI must follow the instructions but BCCI previously declared that the jersey number 10 of Sachin Tendulkar won’t be used in the future to any player. Now, what decision does BCCI take on Sachin’s Jersey number as well as trademark jersey number "7" which is being used by Dhoni?
