For the 2023 ODI World Cup, Indian players won’t wear jerseys with the logo of ‘Dream11’ (an online betting platform) written on them. Instead, only ‘INDIA’ will be visible on the front of the jersey which will also have tricolor stripes on each shoulder.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has roped in Dream11 as the official jersey partner to the irritation of the fans. The fans did not like a betting company like Dream11’s involvement as a sponsor.

However, whenever an important tournament takes place, the BCCI removes the company’s logo so that only ‘INDIA’ remains on the jersey. This happened during the World Test Championship (WTC) Final this year and it will happen during the upcoming tournament.
