ICC to trial using pink ball to reduce bad light stoppages in Test matches

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is set to trial the use of a pink ball in Test matches as a measure to reduce stoppages caused by bad light. The governing body is also collaborating with the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) to investigate and develop technology aimed at minimising lost playing time due to poor light conditions. These initiatives reflect ongoing efforts to improve the flow and continuity of Test match cricket.
