Cricket Australia (CA) has unveiled its brand-new playing kits for the 2025–26 summer, continuing its long-standing partnership with ASICS that began in 2011. The latest designs celebrate cricket’s deep Indigenous heritage, featuring stunning artwork by Kirrae Whurrong artist Aunty Fiona Clarke, whose iconic “Walkabout Wickets” motif has become synonymous with Australian cricket’s acknowledgment of its First Nations history.
The new artwork, titled Land & Sea, honours the trailblazing 1868 Aboriginal XI—the first Australian cricket team to tour England. The intricate designs on the shoulders represent the spiritual and cultural connection between today’s players and Indigenous heritage, serving as a powerful reminder of cricket’s rich history.
“I am honoured and proud to have created the artwork for these uniforms,” Aunty Fiona said. “This is about much more than a shirt design; it’s about honouring those who came before us and connecting them with present and future players. The stars symbolise every cricketer, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, who continues this shared legacy through the game.”

Both Australia’s men’s and women’s white-ball kits feature the Indigenous artwork. The ODI kit will showcase the nation’s signature gold design, while the T20I strip introduces striking green-and-gold contrasts, paying tribute to Ricky Ponting’s 2003 World Cup-winning side with side-panel elements reminiscent of that era.

The Test whites will also see subtle but bold updates, with yellow piping replacing the traditional green accents on collars and sleeves. Cricket Australia’s new four-year sponsorship deal with Westpac adds a standout element, with a striking red “W” across the chest replacing Toyota’s logo.

The reveal comes ahead of a packed 2025–26 season. Australia’s men’s team will kick off their campaign in August with a limited-overs series against South Africa, marking the return of international cricket to the Northern Territory after 17 years. They’ll then face India in a three-match ODI series followed by a historic five-match T20I series in October and November.
The marquee event of the summer is the Ashes, set to begin in late November in Perth. Meanwhile, Alyssa Healy’s Australian women’s side will host India in February 2026 for a multi-format series, featuring three T20Is, three ODIs, and a one-off Test at Perth’s Optus Stadium.
