Ind vs engine tests: “soft” cricket ball to examine after repeated complaints – details inside | Cricket news
The Dukes cricket bullet manufacturer will carry out an in -depth examination after widespread criticism of the sweet balls used in the first three test games between India and England. The examination comes after the complaints concerning the balls losing the hardness and coming out quickly, in particular after 30 overs, causing delays of match due to frequent ball changes.The BCE Board Cricket (ECB) of England and Wales plans to recover used balls and return them to British Cricket Balls Ltd, the company that produces Dukes Balls, at the end of the week.
“We are going to withdraw it, inspect and then start talking to a tanner, speaking of all raw materials – everything,” said Dilip Jajodia, owner of British Cricket Balls Ltd, who makes the Dukes.“Everything we do will be examined, then if we think that certain changes must be made or tightened, we will.”The Dukes Ball, which has been in production since 1760, has faced county test and cricket problems in recent years. The ball is specifically used for test matches in England, while India uses SG balls and Australia uses Kookaburra balls.During the Lord’s test, Indian captain Shubman Gill expressed his disappointment against the replacement ball provided by the referees after the second new ball was to change at the first hour of the second morning.The change of ball had a significant impact on the game, because Jasprit Bumrah had taken three quick counters with the original balloon, but Indian quisons did not succeed in obtaining breakthroughs in the rest of the first session after the modification of the ball.
