After red, white and pink balls in cricket, yellow could be the new revolution. After initial apprehensions and excessive deliberation on the utilisation of the colour of balls for day-night Tests, the pink ball was settled on. Australia and New Zealand will put the theories to rest as they face off in the first ever day-night Test to be played with the pink ball late in November at Adelaide Oval.
Designed by Kookaburra, the cricket goods manufacturing company, the pink ball has been improvised several times after feedback from players in consultation with Cricket Australia. The Sheffield Shield competition in 2014 put the pink ball to test under floodlights and subsequent changes were made.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

I don't think the colour of the cricket balls will make the sport any more attractive to fans but since they are trying them then they could cash in with the rainbow colours to attract the homosexual community. ;D

The ICC is not using different colour balls to attract fans to the game. They are hoping that the brighter coloured balls will allow for Test matches to be able to be played under floodlights which will allow for later start times (and day/night Tests) and hopefully increase crowds so that fans can attend after work.
