Duleep Trophy 2022: North, East play out draw; BCCI’s experiment with Kookaburra ball goes wrong

The Hindu  

East Zone’s talented Shahbaz Ahmed, rebounding from a hand injury sustained on day three, impressed with a five-for of heart and skill on an unresponsive pitch. Yet, despite North Zone easing past East Zone’s first innings 397 and finishing at 545 to enter the Duleep Trophy semifinal on day four at the CAP ground on Sunday, a big question mark remained. Somewhere the BCCI appears to have got its plans to acclimatise our domestic cricketers with the Kookaburra ball, all wrong. The Kookaburra ball, unlike the Duke or the SG balls, has a diffused seam, and bowling, pace or spin, becomes a hard job as the innings progresses and the seam becomes less prominent unless the pitch offers assistance.
