The Board also approved a recommendation to trial the use of a pink ball in conventional Test matches, subject to agreement from both participating teams, when poor light is anticipated.
The proposal would allow teams to switch from the traditional red ball to a pink ball during a Test in a bid to reduce time lost to bad light.
Cricbuzz had first reported the proposal ahead of the Board meetings, with the ICC also confirming plans to jointly fund research with the MCC into lighting technology that could further minimise interruptions caused by poor light.
