ICC planning massive cricket shake-up with pink-ball switch during Test matches

Cricket's playing conditions may see significant shifts. The ICC is exploring a switch to pink balls in Tests during rain-affected matches under lights, requiring mutual consent. Head coaches could join players on the field during ODI drinks breaks. T20 innings breaks might shorten, and umpires may gain HawkEye access for bowling action checks. These proposals await ICC Board approval.
