ICC to Trial Pink Balls to Reduce Bad‑Light Interruptions
The International Cricket Council (ICC) will trial pink‑coloured balls in test matches to minimise stoppages caused by poor lighting. The experiment aims to improve visual contrast during evening sessions, helping umpires track the ball more clearly.
A pilot programme will be run across selected test series in several countries. The ICC intends to adopt the pink ball permanently if the trial yields positive results.
Players and fans alike are keen to see how the new ball influences the flow of the game.
