Yet Another Cricket Ball

Cricket in this world came into existence right from the 16th century. It was only during the 18th century, international cricket came into being. By tat time, this world was witnessing only test cricket. A red ball was used for this format of the game. Then the one day international matches into the world. At first, red color ball was used for this format of the game too, as the players were asked to wear white clothes. But during 1980’s, players were given bright colored clothes. As a result of this white color ball came into practice in ODI. Now, recently, pink color cricket ball made its debut on September 3rd 2008, in a batch between Hampshire and Essex. It was a T20 format played under a floodlit in which Hampshire bet Essex.
