Dubai: The International Cricket Council has approved the usage of pink balls in day-time Tests on a trial basis to reduce the effect of fading light in the final session of the day, which often results in the loss of overs.
The new playing conditions will apply to all international series that start on 1 October or later, and it means that the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy match between India and Australia at Guwahati could be played with a pink ball considering the early sunset in that city.
