Well this could be a problem!
Maybe the ghost has some old ones kicking around he can spare!
Season starts on April 3rd as well.

It will probably be snowing again by April 3rd (Good Friday).
It seems that they normally get a full season's supply in time
for the start of the season, but might be getting them in stages
this year.
I blame Trump for this (and most everything else!!).

At least they’ve scrapped the use of those dodgy Kookaburra
balls for next season.
The number of games that used that ball that lasted less than
two days was worrying.
Back to the tried and trusted Dukes, and I do hope that this
season that the pitches prepared do last the full four days!
