The Indian Cricket Team is likely play a day night Test against Australia, next year. Australia are slated to play four Test matches next autumn against India.

James Sutherland, Cricket Australia’s chief executive, said that the Indian Cricket Board has shown interest in hosting a day night Test against Steve Smith’s men.

“I think there’s certainly some positive signals coming out of India and other parts of the world (regarding day night Tests),” Sutherland said.

“Indicatively they’ve started to talking to us about the prospect of playing a day-night Test match against Australia when Australia tours in February and March of next year.”

“When you look at the big picture it’s probably not surprising because day-night Test cricket is just a no-brainer really, giving more opportunities for fans to get along to the cricket and watch it on TV,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Indian board has already confirmed that the Indian Cricket Team will be playing a pink-ball Test against New Zealand later this year to pull more crowd in the five-day format.

“We have decided that we will play one day-night Test match with pink ball against New Zealand later this year,” Anurag Thakur had said. “Before that Duleep Trophy will act as a dress rehearsal for the day-night Test match.”
