Pink ball Test for WI in Dubai
It’s is final! The third Test of the West Indies versus Pakistan series later this year will be played in Dubai and both boards have decided that it will take the format of day/night.
It was reported that the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) had agreed that they will play one of the three Tests in the series that gets underway in September as a day/night affair. Guardian Media has been informed that it will be the third Test and the dates are now being finalised.
The West Indies cricket team has never played a day/night Test before and the players have limited experience in negotiating the pink ball.
The match should prove to be a challenge for the regional outfit and recently coach Phil Simmons mentioned that: “It’s going to be hard for us because we have not played enough day night cricket down here to test the ball and to know what happens in the night.
