Cricket Australia has revealed its new playing kits for the 2025-26 summer season. The updated uniforms are made in partnership with ASICS, a collaboration that has been in place since 2011.
The main highlight of this year’s kits is the new Indigenous artwork called Land & Sea, created by famous Kirrae Whurrong artist Aunty Fiona Clarke. Her design features the well-known Walkabout Wickets motif, paying tribute to the 1868 Aboriginal XI, the first Australian cricket team to tour England. The shoulders of the kit also include artwork representing the strong connection between players and Indigenous heritage.
“I feel honoured and proud to have designed the artwork for the players’ uniforms. It’s amazing to see today’s players carry the story of the first Aboriginal XI Cricket Walkabout team. This design is more than just a shirt—it honours those who came before us and connects them with current and future players. The stars represent all cricketers, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, who continue this shared legacy through cricket,” said Aunty Fiona, as quoted by Cricket Australia.
Revealed Before a Busy 2025-26 Cricket Schedule
Both the men’s and women’s white-ball kits include special artwork. The ODI kits use Australia’s traditional gold, while the T20I kits feature green and gold in reversed patterns. The T20I design also pays tribute to Ricky Ponting’s 2003 World Cup-winning team, with side panels inspired by that era.
For the Test uniforms, the usual green on the collar and sleeves has been replaced with yellow piping. The main sponsor logo has also changed from Toyota to Westpac. A bold red “W” on the chest highlights Cricket Australia’s new four-year sponsorship with Westpac.
The new kits were revealed ahead of a busy 2025-26 international season. The men’s team will start with a limited-overs series against South Africa in August, marking the return of international cricket to the Northern Territory after 17 years. This will be followed by three ODIs and a historic five-match T20I series against India in October and November.
The main event of the summer will be the Ashes series, starting in late November in Perth. For the women’s team, Alyssa Healy’s squad will host India in February 2026 for a multi-format tour, which will include three T20 matches, three ODIs, and a single Test match in Perth.
