'If visibility is reason, then blue jersey should never be worn again': Sreejesh
Indian men's and women's hockey teams will wear saffron jerseys as primary kit at the World Cup starting August 15 in Netherlands and Belgium.
Former India goalkeeper PR Sreejesh questioned the official reason that blue jerseys are hard to see on blue turfs, saying if visibility were the issue, blue jerseys should never be worn again.
Sreejesh noted that India also wore different kits at the 2014 and 2018 World Cups, and asked why the debate only arose this time.
The jersey change has drawn criticism from several former India captains.
Sreejesh said that if the players have approved the decision, the matter should end there.
