Question
Under which condition can an umpire declare bad light?
Solution
- An umpire can declare bad light in cricket when the natural lighting conditions become too poor for safe play, usually due to insufficient daylight or cloudy weather.
- This decision is made when vision becomes poor for players, particularly batsmen and fielders, making it dangerous to continue.
- The decision to stop play due to poor lighting is based on the umpire's opinion of the players' safety and the fairness of the game.
- Artificial lighting, such as floodlights, may be used in various formats to combat poor lighting, although in traditional Test cricket, play is frequently stopped until circumstances improve.
