Ball colour change in the middle of a match? ICC's new idea stun fans

Cricket

Test cricket could change as the ICC is considering a surprising new ball rule for matches.

The shocking rule

Reports say teams might start with a red ball and switch to a pink ball during the same Test match.

The main reason is poor visibility; the red ball is hard to see during evening sessions for both players and fans.

This idea could add pink-ball excitement to daytime Tests without changing the whole format.

Help for the bowlers?

Many think the pink ball would help fast bowlers and make batting harder later in the game.

Fans give their opinion

Some fans like the idea, but others worry changing balls mid-match could ruin traditional Test cricket.

Everyone eagerly awaits

If ICC approves the rule, future Tests could have surprise twists, tougher batting, and late-day chaos.
