ICC panel likely to discuss rules - Cricket news - Sportstar

The Hindu  

The International Cricket Council is likely to discuss test cricket's bad light rules which have been criticised during the ongoing England vs Pakistan series, a source in the governing body told Reuters on Monday. Former England captain Michael Vaughan has suggested using a pink ball, currently used only in day-night tests for its higher visibility, to avoid losing playing time to bad light. “The more I watch this, particularly in England, the pink ball could be the solution - just play with it all the time,” Vaughan told BBC Test Match Special. “If we lower that light meter reading and use a pink ball for test matches, I think well stay out there a lot longer,” Warne told Sky Sports on Monday.
