Cricket clothing and equipment are mostly imported from overseas, so it has been difficult to source clothing made for Cricket and made to fit our players at the same time. MIZUNO has worked closely with us and our players for almost a year to develop Cricket clothing that fits our players.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to thank everyone involved in developing the clothing and hope to see our National Teams shine on the world stage in their new MIZUNO attire. We also look forward to contributing to the MIZUNO brand&#8217;s further growth around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Hirokazu Fujie, Executive Director, Mizuno Corporation said:<br \/>\n\u201cWe are delighted to form this partnership with the JCA. In developing the clothing, we asked the players for feedback and strived to achieve high functionality for Cricket. We look forward to utilising our expertise in developing sporting goods that will support the Japan National Cricket Teams to perform on the world stage and will support Cricket to grow in Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Comment by Men\u2019s National Team Player, Reo Sakurano \u2013 Thomas:<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m excited to see the new MIZUNO clothing completed ahead of the ACC Men\u2019s Challenger Cup. The clothing is quick-drying and doesn\u2019t stick to your skin, so it will be comfortable even in hot weather. We will take part in the ACC Men\u2019s Challenger Cup in Thailand starting with a match on the 2nd of February, before travelling to Hong Kong for the Men\u2019s East Asia Cup from the 14th so please follow and support the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Comment by Women\u2019s National Team Player, Elena Kusada-Nairn:<br \/>\n\u201cThe clothing gives us great mobility as it is very light and stretchy. It also feels great and comfortable. I\u2019m looking forward to wearing it at the ACC Women\u2019s Premier Cup which starts in Malaysia on the 10th of February. Thank you very much to MIZUNO for developing and supplying us with such high quality clothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u25a0More information on the ACC Men\u2019s Challenger Cup and the Men\u2019s East Asia Cup: <a href=\"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/archives\/25807\">https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/archives\/25807<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u25a0More information on the ACC Women\u2019s Premier Cup: <a href=\"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/archives\/25838\">https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/archives\/25838<\/a><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/02_HN24012401325-2024-01-24-11_30_02_R1M-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25872\" src=\"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/02_HN24012401325-2024-01-24-11_30_02_R1M-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/02_HN24012401325-2024-01-24-11_30_02_R1M-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/02_HN24012401325-2024-01-24-11_30_02_R1M-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/02_HN24012401325-2024-01-24-11_30_02_R1M-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/02_HN24012401325-2024-01-24-11_30_02_R1M-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/02_HN24012401325-2024-01-24-11_30_02_R1M-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/02_HN24012401325-2024-01-24-11_30_02_R1M-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>[About Mizuno Corporation]<br \/>\nSince its establishment in 1906, the Mizuno Group has been driven by a corporate philosophy: \u201cContributing to society through the advancement of sporting goods and the promotion of sports.\u201d Mizuno has been developing and marketing products for a wide range of sports, including running, football, baseball and golf.<br \/>\nWebsite: <a href=\"https:\/\/corp.mizuno.com\/en\">https:\/\/corp.mizuno.com\/en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Japan Cricket Association (JCA) is delighted to welcome Mizuno Corporation (MIZUNO) as a new partner.
