Cricket Australia introduced the Dukes ball in 2016.
SYDNEY - Australia on Thursday announced plans to ditch the English Dukes ball in domestic cricket and revert to using only the traditional Kookaburra for the next Sheffield Shield season.
Dukes balls tend to have a more pronounced seam, enabling them swing further and for longer when new than the Australian-made Kookaburras. "The introduction of the Dukes ball has been a worthwhile exercise, particularly in the lead-up to overseas Ashes series where the Dukes is used so well by our English opponents," he said.
"We do, however, feel that reverting to one ball for 2020-21 will provide the consistent examination of our players over a full season that and the states are presently seeking," he added.
