Modern cricket balls are made and manufactured with solid hide and fine coloured leather stitched over it.
This picture on the left shows how modern cricket balls look like. Now days you can purchase balls that have different colours in range and this is a photograph that I took of my own personal cricket balls that I have collected as they are expensive and rare.
These modern cricket balls are also stamped in gold with the manufacturers and companies logo on them. The pink coloured ball in the picture has a gold stamp over the pink leather showing the companies image and logo that produced the ball. This is done so that whoever uses the ball can see who manufactured and produced the cricket ball. It sometimes help promoting the product as well as the company that produces it.
The white and pink coloured balls are used in cricket macthes like Twenty20 and One day international games because coloured clothes are worn in those two types of games. Therefore coloured cricket balls like these shown in the picture are required to be used in the matches by the cricket officials.
These two pictures above show how cricket balls use to look like many years ago when they were first invented and manufactured. The picture on the left shows the most oldest cricket balls that have now been stappled with a shield metal plating over them stating when they were made and who used them etc. The picture on right shows the next latest cricket balls to the old ones. The second picture of the red balls stacked up are the developed version of the old cricket balls. The difference between them was that the newly developed cricket balls were made with more coloured leather and a better solid hide inside the centre of the balls. Now days there are even more modern and multi coloured cricket balls that the companies have invented and manufactured. Ever since the first cricket ball was invented, the procedure, quality and appearance has massively changed over the years that hae gone past. Modern technology has had a massive impact on how the balls are designed and manufactured to the right scale and wieght.
