Wriddhiman Saha, the wicketkeeper-batsman of India who has played pink-ball cricket earlier, is very excited to play in India’s first day-night Test which will be played from November 22. On Tuesday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that Eden Gardens will host the first-ever day-night Test between India and Bangladesh.

“This will be a new challenge in front of us. We have not played Tests with the pink ball. I have been part of a domestic pink ball multi-day game. Challenge is there in every sport. The more you are challenged as a team, you get better and I am sure we will do that,” Wriddhiman Saha said on Wednesday.

Saha highlighted the fact that under lights, it becomes difficult to hold the pink-ball sometimes

“To be honest, I really don’t remember all of it. Shami bowled really fast and we (Mohun Bagan) won. One thing I remember is sometimes it was becoming difficult to pick the ball,” Saha added.

Australia and New Zealand have already played the first-ever day-night Test that took place at Adelaide Oval in 2015. Four years later, India, currently placed at number one in the world, are all set to play their first-ever day-night Test match.

“We can play. Australia and New Zealand have played in the past. Other countries have, so..it has been done to attract crowds and it is good for the game,” Saha said.

“He (Sourav Ganguly) has dominated world cricket and now people are expecting the same vigour from him (as an administrator). Everybody is looking forward to something new from him. It has started and if the players benefit from it, it’s great,” Saha concluded.
