Scorecard

Pink Ball

A lot of leagues in the United States are opting to use fluorescent pink balls instead of the traditional red or white claiming that it provides better visibility; and as we play on make shift grounds with trees and houses as backdrops, it will negate the need of sight screens to an extent. 

Of course, with any change come concern, resistance and debate. We can sit here and discuss the obvious points such as quality of the ball, the excessive swing or the lack of it etc, but I will like to bring up another angle and will love to hear from the” weekend warriors” aka USA club cricketers especially the ones aspiring to play at the higher level

Is this change (pink balls) very short sighted? How will this affect the players who strive to play at a higher level in the long run? ICC doesn't plan to switch to fluorescent balls just yet, are we doing these aspiring USA cricketers a disservice?
