Jonny Bairstow has opened up about his various jersey in the first ODI against India, describe that it was a case of simple lack of communication.
While the break of the England players in the opening game in Pune had their names and figures written in blue, Jonny Bairstow’s had his information in white.
In a virtual interview on Wednesday, the 31-year-old explained the anomaly, saying in this context:
“It was purely because it got patched up over here rather than in England. It was a miscommunication. They patched it up, the number and lettering in the same colour as the T20 numbers. That was as simple as it was.”
Why is Bairstow's jersey name and no. colour as white? #INDvENG

Why is Bairstow’s name and number written in white on the jersey, and rest all of them have it written in blue

Jonny Bairstow was in grand touch on Tuesday, with the opener almost missing out on a century. He scored 94 runs off 66 balls before receiving dismissed by Shardul Thakur while attempting a pull.
He was one of the few England batsmen who got going in the first game, with the rest of the player’s trouble to get going as the visitors imploded after a high-spirited start.
Jonny Bairstow happy about his batting effort
A brutal innings 💪@jbairstow21 👏
