Call it a red-pajama day. Despite the rainfall in Dharamsala ruining two games at the World T20, there was something extra eye-catching about Bangladesh's eight-over hit against Ireland. Their switch from green to red outfits was not, it turns out, merely a fashion statement - this is the first world event where teams have been asked to avoid wearing similar colours as their opposition.

Three of the teams have been assigned two different colours to avoid clashes. When Bangladesh played Netherlands they were okay in green but against Ireland they wore a jersey that was predominantly red. Similarly, two other teams - Sri Lanka and Scotland - have two different outfits.

Scotland have already been knocked out and, for some reason, did not use their pink change strip against Afghanistan, who also play in blue, on Tuesday. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, have a yellow "away" outfit, which we might expect to see when they take on India in the Super 10s. South Africa's Twenty20 kit is a mix of green and yellow, which saves them a potential clash with Pakistan; and while Australia play T20 in black, New Zealand have opted for a mainly beige jersey this time around.

Whether all this has been prompted by broadcasters' requests or a desire to follow football's lead and maximise on the merchandise, T20 continues to change the game. Now, wouldn't it be radical if a team decided to wear white?
