Cricket Australia is planning a trial game to test the feasibility of using colour balls in day-night Test matches.

CA operations manager Michael Brown said it would be "a controlled experiment", where players will face the coloured ball under lights either in the MCG or SCG and Channel Nine would see how they come up on camera.

The main aim behind the initiative is to test the visibility of the ball rather than its durability, said Brown, who is hoping it can be organised for the coming summer.

Incidentally, the day-night Tests will be a part of the discussion during International Cricket Council's meetings in London this week.

"Ideally, we would like to get some players along, get the cameras along, turn on the lights and see if we can have a game of cricket for an hour," Brown was quoted as saying in the 'Sydney Morning Herald'.

"We're still a fair way away (from a day-night Test) but we're moving forward," he added.

Though yellow, lime green and white are among the contenders, a suitable colour is still to be finalised and once that is done, the next challenge will be to manufacture a ball that can endure the wears and tears of Test cricket.
