Alternative cricket uniforms required

The International Cricket Council (ICC) ought to make itself meaningful by sorting out the confusion of colored uniforms clashing in one-day internationals.

It’s ridiculous to see players from Australia and Pakistan in virtually identical strips.

They may as well be wearing whites.

It’s not Pakistan’s fault either. Australia used to wear canary yellow, but converted to the same green worn by Pakistan and very similar to South Africa’s green.

Countries that clash should be required to have an alternative uniform, eg Pakistan might wear predominantly white with green trim when playing in Australia.

Australia should have an alternative yellow strip to wear against Pakistan and South Africa.

The national boards are obviously not taking any action themselves on this issue, so the ICC should step in.
