What happened: The International Cricket Council (ICC) will trial the use of pink balls in Test matches to minimise stoppages caused by bad light conditions.
Why it matters:
- Could reduce lost playing time in late afternoon sessions.
- Affects players, broadcasters, and fans by improving match continuity.
MNN Take: The pink ball is believed to be more visible in poor lighting, potentially allowing play to continue safely when natural light fades.
