India Set To Play Day-Night Tests Against Australia And England: BCCI President Ganguly

The probable venue for the India Vs Australia Pink Ball Test match will be Adelaide and for the first time BCCI has agreed to play a Day Night Test match on the Australian soil.

The Indian team will play Day Night Test matches both against Australia and England, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly confirmed the development to ABP News after the BCCI meeting held in New Delhi on Sunday . The probable venue for the India Vs Australia Pink Ball Test match will be Adelaide and for the first time BCCI has agreed to play a Day Night Test match on the Australian soil. Earlier despite Cricket Australia's request , Virat Kohli and Co were not inclined to play a Pink ball Test match abroad . Indian Team will be playing a home Test match too in Pink Ball after the successful Eden Test match against Bangladesh and this time the opposition will be England , confirmed Sourav to ABP News . So, come winter Team India will be playing two Test matches in Pink ball against two quality opponents . "India are most likely to play a day/night Test during the Australia tour," a BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity. This comes a little over a month after captain Virat Kohli asserted that his team was ready to play a Day-Night Test anywhere in Australia. India played their maiden Day-Night Test against Bangladesh last November at the Eden Gardens, winning the match quite comfortably with plenty of time to spare. On the eve of India's three-match ODI series opener at home against Australia last month, Kohli had said, "We're ready and up for the challenge - whether it's Gabba, Perth... it doesn't matter to us. It's become a very exciting feature of any Test series and we're open to playing Day-Night Tests." India declined Australia's offer to play a Day-Night Test in Adelaide in 2018-19, citing lack of experience. With Day-Night match seen as a possible answer to Test cricket's dwindling attendances, Australia had been hoping that India will agree to play one game at the Gabba this year. A Cricket Australia (CA) delegation met top BCCI officials on the sidelines of a limited-overs series in January with the Day-Night Test figuring on the agenda.
