Sydney: Cricket Australia said yesterday that colour-blind batsman Chris Rogers' decision to withdraw from a match in which a pink ball will be trialled would not jeopardise the opener&rsquo;s Test career.

Rogers has pulled out of Victoria&rsquo;s day-night Sheffield Shield clash against Tasmania, starting on Saturday, citing his difficulties in detecting the experimental pink ball. &ldquo;The selectors have reiterated that no player is judged on one match,&rdquo; CA team performance manager Pat Howard said, indicating the left-hander&rsquo;s withdrawal won&rsquo;t be a major factor in Test selection.
&ldquo;The four-man selection panel rate players on their consistency over a period of time and their ability to perform in pressure situations.&rdquo;
Rogers put on a poor show in the recent series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates, and at 37 his opener&rsquo;s slot is under threat from the likes of Phil Hughes and Shane Watson.
