Day-Night Test: 'Pink balls have been hand stitched to aid reverse swing'

New Delhi, Nov 19: The amount of reverse swing that the SG pink ball will aid has been a burning question ever since it was announced that India will play its maiden Day-Night Test against Bangladesh at the historic Eden Gardens from November 22. The likes of Mohammed Shami are known to use the reverse swing as one of their most potent weapons and the pink balls for the Day-Night Test have been prepared keeping that in mind.

Speaking to IANS, a BCCI official said that the seams in the pink balls have been hand stitched to ensure that the ball aids reverse swing.
