There are no set parameters for adjustments required in pink-ball Tests: Bumrah

India TV News  

India vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah on Friday said the cricketers need to make a few "mental adjustments" going into a Pink Ball Test but defining one set parameter for that is not possible since all three day-night games they have played in the past, had varied conditions. Bumrah they are still learning how to approach pink ball games. "In the afternoon session, the ball may not swing much but in the evening, it can swing more, all these small points," "We have not played many pink ball matches and whatever we have played, they were all in different conditions, so no parameter can be set. "So whatever little experience you have gathered and the feedback you have taken, you work on things that are under our control," the fast bowler added.
