The International Cricket Council has approved a trial that could lead to pink balls being used as replacements in Test matches to combat bad light.
Pink balls have been used in day-night Tests since the concept launched in 2015, but traditional red balls remain the standard.
Now the ICC has agreed to proceed with a pilot scheme whereby pink balls, which are easier to see when visibility dips in gloomy conditions, would be introduced to allow play to continue.
As it stands there is limited information about the logistics, with the governing body allowing just a single line to the development in its update from its weekend board meeting in Ahmedabad.
A statement confirmed that following recommendations from the ICC chief executives' committee there had been approval for: "Trialling the use of a pink ball in Test Matches, with prior agreement from both teams, to maximise play in case of anticipated bad light."
