India to play day-night Test in Australia, Ganguly says

NEW DELHI. India have agreed to play a day-night Test in Australia during the team’s 2020-21 tour, board president Sourav Ganguly has said. India declined Australia’s offer to play a day-night Test during their most recent tour Down Under in 2018/19 and were the last major cricket-playing country to play a pink-ball match when they hosted Bangladesh in Kolkata in November.

“A formal announcement will come soon but we have decided to play a day-night Test in Australia,” Ganguly said. “We will also play one against England at home next February. Day-night Tests will be a regular feature from now on.” Ganguly and Cricket Australia (CA) were not immediately available for comment.
