Team India will be in action from 7-11 June 2023 as they will take on Australia in the final of the World Test Championship Final, 2021-23 Cycle. But, fans are eagerly waiting for the new jersey of the Men in Blue ahead of the final, which will be unveiled by Adidas. They have already signed a deal with the Indian Cricket Board until March 2028.
