The kit has been produced in collaboration with Lotto Sport, CSA's official technical partner, and is predominantly gold with contrasting bright green sleeves and collar.
The shirt pays homage to South African heritage with the national flag across the shoulders and a subtle protea flower on the torso.
“Following the success of our 50-over World Cup design, Lotto Sports has delivered yet another world-class playing strip. The Proteas will take to the world stage in their new kit for the T20 World Cup in June. I'm looking forward to seeing it.'' said Foretsi Moseki, Chief Executive Officer of CSA.
“At the game of cricket, every stitch and every seam on the jersey tells a story: a story of ambition, a story of inspiration, a story of hope, woven into every triumph and setback.
“We want the kit design to embody the journey of the Proteas men as they stand on the precipice of a new era, one marked by optimism, dedication, determination and an unwavering spirit of excellence. That's what I thought.
