Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo shared the upcoming challenge with the pink ball in the first-ever day-night Test which will be played at the Eden Gardens from November 22 between India and Bangladesh.

“It’s a difficult ball to see when you are batting particularly in the phase between sunset and dark (twilight). Guys struggle against wrist spinners because it is difficult to see the seam as it is not pronounced like red ball with white seam (stiches),” Domingo said when he was asked about the challenges.

Cheteshwar Pujara also said the pink ball could pose a hurdle during the day-night Test.

“In the twilight period, I feel that maybe, sighting the ball could be a little challenging. (But) the more you play, you get used to it. It’s always about experience and knowing how the ball is behaving,” said Pujara.

“The ball used to flake a lot easier. It gets softer and breaks up a little more. It does shape and swing for 10-12 overs and then it starts to lose that,” Domingo said.

The Bangladesh coach, Russell Domingo is also concerned as they didn’t even get to play a practice game with the pink ball yet.

“There is a concern with three days between two Test matches here. We have just got two practice days. So there’s not a lot of time to prepare with it. I suppose it’s the same for India. But it is a challenge that we are facing. It would have been great to have played a two-day game with the pink ball. When I was with South Africa, we played a two-day game before playing the day-night Test in Adelaide,” he added.
