Pink Ball in Cricket

Q. Why is Only Pink Ball chosen for the day night Test match ?
                                Science is used in almost every sport around the world. In ODI and T20 cricket, players wear colored clothes and play with a White ball, so that the ball is visible clearly to the players.
In the same way; the players wear white clothes and play with a Red ball in test matches, so that the ball may visible clearly.
The first pink ball was manufactured by Australia's ball manufacturing company 'Kookabura'. Initially, the company used orange and yellow colours in manufacturing the ball. But the cameramen were not able to see the yellow and orange ball properly and they were having difficulty in covering the match.
That is the reason that the Kookaburra company decided to change the color of the ball and after the successful experiment, it was changed to pink.
Difference in Red and Pink ball:-

• The main difference between the pink and red ball is the way leather is processed.
• The rad ball has dyed leather and some other processess are also done to shine it. On the other hand; the pink colour is because of a pigment with which the leather is coated.
• In the case of the traditional red ball, the red colour is absorbed by the leather, while the pink ball is painted just like a car is painted. The pink ball has an extra layer of colour ,so it will swing a lot as long as the ball is new.
