Colour blind cricket complaint

Charity Colour Blindness Awareness has reportedly written to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to demand a review of its new pink cricket ball.

Introduced for a day-night test match last week, colour blind people had contacted the charity to say they could not follow the ball.

Professor Andrew Stockman of Moorfields Eye Hospital told The Daily Telegraph that pink was not the best colour for colour deficient players or fans if the ball is of the same brightness as the green or brown grass or a grey background.
