- Updated: June 15, 2016
New Delhi: The BCCI is also in talks with British round manufacturers “Dukes” for supply of pinkish balls that can be tested before zeroing in on a sold code for a due day-night Test matches after this year, settled BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke.
“We are still deliberating on a lot of issues. The conditions, a round used and it’s longevity. Also either it is satisfactory to have usually one Test with pinkish round and other dual with red ball. Whether it will be satisfactory on a dual teams,” BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke told PTI during an interaction.
Among a cricket balls used, India during home uses ‘SG Test’, ‘Dukes’ is used in England and West Indies while a rest of a Test personification nations use Kookaburra.
It was learnt a authority of BCCI’s technical cabinet Sourav Ganguly had suggested that during a initial phase, even ‘Dukes’ should be attempted as it has a improved and thicker seam, useful for Indian bowlers.
“Sourav has done an regard about pinkish kookaburra balls. Sourav feels that a kookaburra join could be a problem in Indian conditions. He suggested that we should also check out with Duke Company if they can make pinkish balls with conspicuous seam. We are awaiting a shipment from Dukes,” Shirke added.
“Pink Dukes has been used during final book of Karnataka Premier League T20 tournament. But given it was T20, BCCI tip coronet feels that it won’t be probable to use a feedback as a information for longer chronicle of a game. It is critical for a administrators to get declaration from manufacturers that a customary pinkish round would have a ability to final 100 overs in sub-continental conditions,” pronounced Shirke.
There is each probability that BCCI will use all a 3 pinkish balls — Kookaburra, Dukes and SG Test during a Duleep Trophy to get feedback from a comparison Indian players, who will take partial in a event.
Interestingly, a office-bearer pronounced that he has “no knowledge” that New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has snubbed Day/Night Test compare with India as a discussions have not even reached that stage.
“I have no believe about NZC snubbing us. we have never listened anything from them. There is a assembly with NZC to trounce out a sum of a series,” Shirke added.
Sources in New Zealand Cricket told PTI that no preference has been taken on personification a day-night Test during a debate of India in October.
“No preference has been taken by a NZC on personification a day-night Test in India. The Board has always been understanding of day-night cricket. It has been misreported in sections of media that NZC has ruled out personification a day-night Test in India. No preference has been taken as of now,” Shirke further added.
Australia and New Zealand had played a first-ever day-night Test during Adelaide final year.
