Cricket's day-night pink ball not always so pretty
The pink cricket ball was introduced over a decade ago to facilitate day-night Test matches, aiming to enhance visibility under floodlights. Recently, the International Cricket Council approved trials for its use in matches affected by bad light. However, the adoption and performance of the pink ball remain a subject of debate among players and officials. Concerns regarding its durability and how it behaves in various conditions continue to influence its selective implementation.
