Coming Soon! Jersey names and numbers in Test cricket; England and Australia the frontrunners

England and Australia are set to have names and numbers on the back of their playing Test shirts for the first time under changes proposed for the ICC Test Championship, beginning August 1. Test cricket between the two sides since the inaugural match in 1877 has been played in white or cream clothes, while the introduction of cap numbers and series details stitched in below the badge on their chest is a relatively recent introduction. Some nations including Australia also have their initials stitched into the sleeve on the side of their dominant hand, cricket.com.au reported.
