Difference Between White, Red, and Pink Cricket Balls

Initially, cricket balls were red in color. But later, pink and white balls were introduced. Red balls can be seen well in sunlight and are used in daytime matches. They are dyed with red leather. White balls are used in night matches as they can be seen better from a distance. They are used in one-day matches. Pink balls are called day-night balls and are used for day-night matches.
