Pink balls to be trialled in day Tests to maximise playing time

Test-playing nations will be able to ‌use pink balls instead of red ones in traditional daytime matches ‌as part of a trial to prevent play being ​lost due to bad light.

The International Cricket Council approved the trial at a ​meeting of its board in ‌Ahmedabad on Monday and said it would also undertake research ​on lighting technology for match officials and venues to "reduce lost play due to poor light".
