Pollock proposes pink ball for daytime Tests after Durban bad-light interruptions

Shaun Pollock proposed using a pink ball in daytime Test matches after weather interruptions plagued the first Test between South Africa and Australia in Durban, in a report published on 13 October 2026.

Cricket's governing body permits use of the pink ball in daytime matches provided both captains approve.

Ashwell Prince advocated retaining the traditional red ball, citing varying team experiences with the alternative.
