About Cricket Balls
A cricket ball is a spherical solid body ball used to play cricket that consists of cork covered by the leather case and layered with tightly wound string. The ball comes in different colours, generally in red, pink, and white. Red balls are used in test cricket and white balls are used for one-day matches. Pink balls were introduced at the beginning of the 20th century. The red ball is not preferred for night tests due to poor visibility, and the white ball is not suitable for first-class cricket because of its rapid deterioration. Hence, the pink balls were designed to provide a solution for both issues.
