If, during play, the ball cannot be found or recovered or the umpires agree that it has become unfit for play through normal use, the umpires shall replace it with a ball which has had wear comparable with that which the previous ball had received before the need for its replacement. When the ball is replaced, the umpire shall inform the batters and the fielding captain. The only difference is that the leather used to make the white ball is natural and comes in an off-white color. Kookaburra covered the leather with a pigmented pure white finish to make sure that it retains its high visibility through many games.

The bright red colour enhances player safety by making the ball easily visible on the field. The surface of the ball provides excellent grip for spin bowlers, enabling them to maximize spin and control. Many casual players use a tennis ball wrapped in layers of some type of adhesive tape (often electrical tape), which makes the relatively soft tennis ball harder and smoother. This is commonly referred to as a tape ball. A common variant is to tape only half the tennis ball, to provide two different sides and make it easy to bowl with prodigious amounts of swing. Pink has proved to have a great contrast for both day and night time games. Pink is also ideal because it has high visibility in all the stages of its natural deterioration. The pink Kookaburra turf ball is currently being used in trials around the globe.

Cricket Balls

Swing: Swing is a very essential component of fast bowling. It generally means that the ball changes its direction in the air either into the batter or away to the batter. It’s proved by science that the lighter ball swings more & than the heavier ball. But, along with weight, swing also depends upon bowler skill, weather conditions & most importantly ball shine.

The diameter of the ball used by females is approximately 8.25 to 8.88 inches (210mm to 226mm) in circumference. Seam: It is another vital component of pace bowling. In the seam, the ball changes its direction just after it pitches the ground. It’s more difficult to handle seam than swing as a batter, since it is difficult to predict where the ball will deviate. Seam is completely independent of ball weight. Means both heavy & light bowls have the same seam. However, seam depends more upon bowler skill, pitch conditions. The vibrant red colour of the ball ensures improved visibility on the field, benefiting fielders, batsmen, and umpires. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, this ball will enhance your training sessions and make matches more exciting.This ball should never be used with a batter or bat in the net as it can cause damage to both player and bat.

Exceptional craftsmanship: The ball is carefully made using top-quality materials, ensuring both durability and consistent performance.
