Warner’s warning on pink ball

AFP, SYDNEY: Australia vice-captain David Warner has voiced concerns about the pink ball used for day-night Tests, a report said Saturday, amid a stand-off with South Africa over a proposed fixture.
Cricket Australia want day-night Tests against South Africa and Pakistan in their 2016-17 home season but have admitted that player concerns about the experimental format mean the Proteas’ match has not been locked in.
Aggressive opening batsman Warner reportedly told The Australian newspaper that players want the pink ball improved.
“The concept is fantastic and it is a great spectacle, but for those of us who play it, the most important thing is getting the ball right,” he said from India where he is playing for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
“Looking after it to get swing is a key and we can’t do that with a pink ball because it will not shine up.”
