# Cricket: Some teams will test the pink ball in day-Tests after the International Cricket council’s executive board approved trialling the idea in order to minimise lost time due to bad light. Pink balls are already used in day-night Tests, while red balls are not easily visible in fading light. White balls, used in T20s and one-day games, are not durable enough for the longest format. The ICC also approved research on lighting technology for match officials and fields to reduce lost play due to poor light.
