NOTTINGHAM, June 4: New Zealand are set to test high-tech bowlers’ trousers, specifically designed to put shine on the ball, for the third Test against England.
The trousers, made by a New Zealand-based firm, were set to be used only from October. However, they have been tried in practice.
Also included is the micro-slide version for fielders.
Reports suggest several pairs were “smuggled in” during the second Test at Old Trafford, and one or two players tested the trousers with the logos covered by tape during the side’s tour match at Northampton.—Agencies
