British Cricket Balls Ltd: Amidst criticism over the balls going soft a bit too early, the manufacturer of Dukes ball has said that they would be examining the balls used in the first three Tests between England and India, in a bid to solve the issues surrounding it.

The Dukes balls, which have been in production since 1760, have been regarded as high-quality cricket balls, but in the ongoing Test series between England and India, it has been going soft long before the second new ball comes into the picture.

"We will take it away, inspect and then start talking to the tanner, talking about all of the raw materials – everything. Everything we do will be reviewed and then if we think some changes need to be made or tightened up, we will," said Dilip Jajodia, owner of British Cricket Balls Ltd, who make the Dukes ball, to BBC Sport on Friday.
