India fast bowler Mohammed Shami has offered positive feedback on the pink ball in Indian conditions, after it was used on an experimental basis during a domestic game at Eden Gardens. 
 
In April, India&#39;s cricket board decided that one game of an upcoming three-test series against New Zealand would be a day-night affair, pending trials of the pink ball. 
 
The 26-year-old, who picked up five wickets playing for Mohun Bagan in the day-night final, said South Asian conditions favoured swing with the pink ball, which was an exciting prospect. 
 
&quot;With red or white balls, there was some visibility problem as it took (on) the colour of grass,&quot; he was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India. 
 
&quot;Definitely I will prefer this (pink) ball, this is much better. The biggest plus point is (the swing) under lights, what else does a bowler want? It&#39;s challenging for both batsmen and bowlers. 
 
&quot;If we can maintain the dryness, I&#39;m sure it will reverse. It did (reverse), I noticed.&quot; 
 
Wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha echoed Shami&#39;s sentiments but said pace would prove challenging for batsmen. 
 
&quot;Every ball is swinging a bit either way which was never the case with the red (ball). The visibility is perfect,&quot; Saha told PTI. &quot;But batsmen will have problem if a pacer consistently bowls at 140 km per hour.&quot;
