Cricket is game of freehand shots game in which humar powers can go beyond the defined limits of the Cricket stadium. if cricket ground will be covered by the rood then chances of high shots will not be possible which make cricket not to play like a cricket. in height it can be much longer. the most longer six was hit by Shahid Afridi(Pakistan) which was 153 meters against South Africa.

Some says why it's not covered same as football ground(not all but some football grounds can cover the ground) where as in cricket players can hit the ball as much as power they have it can be as much as higher as well so ball may hit roof and instead of getting 6 player can be out which is not fair :). where football is a game where most of the time ball stays at certain height from the ground even if player hit the ball higher it will not go that high comparatively in cricket and that's why cricket ground is not covered and other hand it include lots of cost to cover the cricket grounds which actually not a good idea as we all know cricket is more famous in Asia in comparison of whole words it's not that big number.

Difference of red & White Ball

White ball is used in one day matches where demand of getting swings and variations is high as there will be less ball played and to maintain the balance of good cricket the ball should get bit rough over the period of time bit faster so it can start with swings and can include other variation as well. in comparison of red ball white ball gets rough more faster and that's why it's used in ODI cricket matches

however, there is a certain time when bowlers, batsman or umpires have option to change the ball.
