'If visibility is reason, then blue jersey should never be worn again': Sreejesh

Former India goalkeeper P R Sreejesh has urged the Indian men's hockey team to put the jersey controversy behind them and concentrate on ending the country's 50-year wait for a World Cup medal. The two-time Olympic bronze medallist said changing jersey colours is not new, pointing out that India had also worn different kits during the 2014 and 2018 World Cups.'Why is there so much discussion this time?'Sreejesh said he was surprised by the debate surrounding India's new saffron jersey."To be honest, I didn't initially understand what the issue was because the jersey colour had changed for the 2014 and 2018 World Cups as well. Even one of our training kits was orange. Why is there so much discussion before the World Cup this time? Is it because of the saffron colour or simply because the colour changed?"
