The Adelaide Test between Australia and India will be played during the day from December 6-10 after the BCCI failed to agree to play the match under lights. However, former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Thursday said that India have enough quality to tackle the pink ball, also hinting that sooner or later Virat Kohli’s team will have to play under lights over five days.
“Day-Night Test is the way forward. Every country has to play Day-Night Test. India have reservations but that’s a long-term future for Test cricket,” Ganguly told.
“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 test matches. It’s just a different ball. And they are such class players, they can win,” he added.
The BCCI had officially informed Cricket Australia that Virat Kohli and team would not engage in any pink ball Test during their tour Down Under. India are slated to play three Tests against Australia, starting from December 10.
