There are no set parameters for kind of adjustments required in 'Pink Ball' Tests: Indian vice-captain Bumrah

Bumrah said they are still learning how to approach pink ball games

India vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah feels that cricketers need to make a few "mental adjustments" going into a 'Pink Ball' Test but defining one set parameter for that is not possible since all three day-night games they have played in the past were in varied conditions.   

India are gearing up for their fourth day-night Test against Sri Lanka, having played against Bangladesh on a seaming Eden Gardens track, versus Australia on a bouncy Adelaide Oval surface and with England on a Motera rank turner.     

Bumrah said they are still learning how to approach pink ball games.    

"As professional cricketers, we need to adjust as quickly as possible. The pink ball looks different while fielding. It comes earlier (travels faster) than what you perceive. In a Test match, ball swings more in the morning session.

"But in the afternoon session, the ball may not swing much. And then in the evening, it can swing more, all these small points (are being discussed)," Bumrah said during the pre-match virtual media interaction.   

"We have not played many pink ball matches and whatever we have played, they were all in different conditions, so no parameter can be set (on adjustments required).      

"So whatever little experience we have gathered and the feedback we have taken, we are trying to work on those things," the fast bowler added.  Bumrah also revealed that they had an optional practice session with pink ball even during the Mohali Test.
