5 things you didn't know about Matthew Wade

#2 Day-night games are more difficult for Wade

Wade finds it difficult to pick up the pink ball due to his colour blindness

Matthew Wade finds day-night matches tough as he has a problem picking up the colour of the ball. Wade is colour blind and hence it is difficult for him to pick up the colour, depth and speed at which the ball is travelling.

Yet, he was recalled to the Australian Test team for the day-night Test against the Proteas last year. "I think it’s trying to get it out of your mind. I can see the colour of the ball, I pick it up. It’s just at times it takes a little bit longer to work out the depth of where it’s coming," Wade stated before that game.

What is interesting to note is that Wade isn't Australia's first colour blind player, with former opener Chris Rogers also suffering from the same problem.
