Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has questioned the BCCI for not scheduling pink-ball Tests in the ongoing series against the West Indies as well. He added that day-night Tests might be slightly competitive and challenge the Indian team more as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “Why don’t we play pink-ball Test matches? When we go to play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, we play a pink-ball Test match. We play in Adelaide and lose there. We play because Australia get a lot of revenue from that. However, we play one Test in two or three years. Why do we play?” Chopra said.

“Either don’t play there, or if you are playing there, play here too. Both Test matches should have been played with the pink ball because there is no excitement, competition, contest, and skill level. At least the opposing team might become slightly competitive. Our players might be challenged a little more,” he further added.

However, Aakash Chopra also batted for a two-tier structure in Tests, commenting on the absence of a contest in the first Test between India and the West Indies.

“Make it two-tier – that has become my pet peeve now. If before the match started, you say it would be over in two-and-a-half days, that the West Indies aren’t capable of more than that, and if it happens like that on a good surface, where you get out for 162 once and 146 the second time, where the Indian team lost only five wickets and the opposing team lost 20, how can you say there should be a contest? Test cricket is our most unique format, which is played over five days, where the WTC has come and everything has been done, but can I complain if you are not watching it? It’s not your mistake. Don’t watch, it’s okay, because nothing worth watching is happening,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
