'If It Is, I’m Retiring': Khawaja Reacts To Vaughan's Idea Of Using Pink Ball In Dark Conditions

Umpires Michael Gough: Following the abrupt end of day 2 of the Test match between Australia and Pakistan due to bad light as overcast conditions hovered over the SCG, Usman Khawaja said that he would retire if Test cricket shifts to pink-ball from red-ball, claiming that pink ball is not a solution to prevent bad light stoppages.

On Thursday, with Australia at 2-116, chasing Pakistan's opening innings tally of 313, players and umpires walked off the field 40 minutes before rain added to the drama.

Umpires Michael Gough and Richard Illingworth, facing malfunctioning light meters, decided it was too dark to continue and called off a day.
