KARACHI, Nov 4: Pakistan Test and one-day captain Misbah-ul-Haq has backed an International Cricket Council (ICC) move to introduce day/night Tests but suggested initial trials with the coloured ball in first-class cricket.

“It is a good move by the ICC but I think first day and night first-class matches need to be held regularly as the coloured ball remains an issue,” Misbah told reporters.

On Monday the ICC said countries could now agree to play day/night matches. Experiments have been conducted with pink, orange and yellow balls to decide which colour is best in both daylight and under floodlights.—Reuters
