In the last few years, captains and players have made numerous complaints about the worsening quality of the balls used in domestic matches. At times, 20 or more balls were changed in a match after they went out of shape.
The board has now finally asked the ball suppliers, Sansperils Greenlands (SG), to immediately improve the quality and to also stop selling balls in the market with the Board of Control for Cricket India (BCCI) logo.
'We had a detailed discussion with SG representative Kailash Anand recently, and it has been decided to place a central order for the supply of balls for all 2007-08 domestic tournaments. He was also told to stop public sale of balls bearing the BCCI logo,' a top BCCI official told IANS.
'He has assured us that the company would take steps to improve the quality of the balls and that there would be fewer complaints in the new season, which began this month with the Irani Trophy.'
