England and the England and Wales Cricket Board have always been against the ICC's plans to increase the use of the pink ball in the longest format of the game. The traditionality of the red ball Tests is what they have been prioritizing even in this modern decade.
The ICC has promoted the use of pink balls in order to resolve the visibility issues that happen at the end of a day's play during a Test match. However, for any such amendment to be confirmed, all full member nations should agree to the plans.
Using the pink ball would be a careful approach towards maximising the time of play, as it would slightly transform traditional Test matches into a day-night affair when match officials deem it unsuitable to continue with the red one under dim light.
England vs New Zealand home series to not include ICC's pink-ball trials
Though the ICC has already discussed the plans, they have yet to provide a date stamp for their introduction, as it is yet to be written into the playing conditions. Hence, the ECB does not have to consider the option for the upcoming series against New Zealand, which marks the start of the international summer for them.
However, despite approval at some point, this remains a concern that the rule will come into play only when both parties in a Test match agree to the arrangement before the start of any game. England have not agreed to a floodlit game since playing their first.
The ECB have always stood firmly against the pink ball in Test cricket
New Zealanders are the first international tourists at the start of the English summer, and after this series, the ECB awaits the Asian giants, Pakistan, for a Test series, which runs between the 19th of August and the 13th of September.
