The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has shared some news! They’re bringing in Dukes Kookaburra balls for the upcoming Domestic season PCB to use International.
This smart move is all about making the game better. It should help players get ready for international competitions.
The Dukes ball is famous because of its noticeable seam & swing. Bowlers get a special edge with it, which can help fast bowlers sharpen their skills and create tougher situations for batsmen.
One PCB official mentioned, “Using Dukes balls in our top first-class games will definitely help fast bowlers improve & get used to tough conditions. Plus, the Kookaburra ball for shorter formats will keep things steady with international standards, giving our players the best shot at global tournaments.”
For shorter matches, like One-Day games and T20s, the PCB has picked the Kookaburra ball. Everyone knows it’s reliable in international cricket. It’s tough and that’s why it’s a great choice for limited-overs formats.
They made this decision after talking a lot with ball makers.
The PCB really wants to step up Pakistan’s domestic cricket to match international levels. They believe this will not just enhance the local game but also prepare players better for playing internationally.
