What's the difference between a white and red cricket ball?

White balls are used for limited-overs day and day/night cricket because they're more visible under floodlights; red balls are used for Test and longer-format cricket where the lacquer-finish red leather lasts longer on turf wickets. White balls scuff and lose shine faster than red because of the way the white pigment interacts with abrasion.

How many balls do I need for an academy season?

A 12-pack typically covers 3-6 weeks of full-time academy net practice depending on group size and intensity. Most academies budget 24-36 balls per term for white-ball training and order in 12-packs.

Are these balls suitable for tournament play?

These are club and practice grade. They're good for club friendlies and academy limited-overs games, but tournament use typically requires hand-stitched BCCI-approved balls. Pick SF's higher-tier hand-stitched models for tournament cricket.
