PICTURE: Aussies unveil 'retro' 2019 CWC kit

Cape Town - Cricket Australia has unveiled the kit that the national side will wear at this year's World Cup in England.

The strip, which is made by manufacturer Asics, was unveiled on the brand's official Twitter page on Tuesday. 

Called a 'retro' strip by Asics, the kit is predominantly yellow with a hint of lime green on the collar and down the sides.

Australia, the current World Cup champions, begin their defence in Bristol against Afghanistan on June 1.

The Proteas, meanwhile, are yet to reveal their kit for the tournament and are expected to name their squad on April 18.
