ICC Board Approves Trailing Use Of Pink Balls In Tests To Tackle Bad Light, Legside Wides; Consultation With Head Coach During Drinks Break
The International Cricket Council: The International Cricket Council has approved trialling the use of a pink ball in all Test matches so that play may not be affected by bad light, and it can continue under lights while also researching lighting technology for match officials and venues to reduce lost play due to poor light. The meeting also approved match officials to use Hawk-Eye data while deciding on illegal bowling actions.
In the ICC Board meetings held in Ahmedabad on Sunday, the ICC also decided to allow the head-coach or a designated representative to consult the teams during scheduled drinks intervals, mandate 15-minute intervals in T20I matches, and require batters to be ready at the resumption of play.
In a statement released on Monday, the ICC said the decisions are aimed at enhancing global competition structures and fostering innovation in the game.
