The two former captains, Sachin and Ganguly were present with Dravid at the unveiling
of the new team clothing along with Mahendra Dhoni, Zaheer Khan, S Sreesanth
and Dinesh Karthik. 
The Cricket Board`s apparel sponsors Nike claimed that the
new apparel that the team would be wearing at the mega event in the West
Indies was 15 per cent lighter than the earlier one and was also capable
of keeping the body temperature down to comfortable levels.
The team`s new jersey were manufactured after interactions with the Indian
players over the last six months, said an official spokesman for the sponsors
at the media conference to unveil the apparel.
"The clothes would help in improving comfort levels and performance for
the players as they won`t stick to the skin because of sweating.
The engineered mesh at the back of the jersey and under the collar enables
better breathability in the high sweat zone," he explained further.
Commenting on the new clothing for the team, cricket board`s
Vice-President and head of its marketing committee, Lalit Modi, said
"the design element will help us to be recognised as one of the foremost
teams in the world. It will help Team India in performing better."
