Sourav Ganguly, who is officially taking over as President of BCCI on October 23, commented on the Day-Night Test as well. The former India captain, however, backed India in this Test. While speaking to IANS, Ganguly made it clear that discussing the idea of the Indian team playing pink-ball cricket would definitely be on the top of his priority list.

“We will deal with it. It is too early for me to comment on how we will work on this, but let me take office and then we will discuss this with every member,” he explained.

Team India head coach Ravi Shastri too had shared last year that they want to play day-night Tests against West Indies. But Sourav Ganguly pointed that it would be wrong to think that the Test championship wouldn’t see day-night matches.

“World Test Championship has day-night Test because Adelaide will host pink-ball Test. I don’t think it is the right call to say that World Test Championship wouldn’t have day-night Tests,” he pointed. “With the agreement of both members it can be a day-night or day affair in the World Test Championship.”

“Day-night Test is the way forward. Every country has to play day-night Test, that’s a long-term future for Test cricket. They (India) are a good side, they will win day-night Test matches also. There is no difference in day-night Test matches and day Tests. It’s just a different ball. They are such class players, they can win,” Ganguly concluded.
