India's First Day/Night Test Set To Roll Out At Eden

BCB has confirmed and we are having a pink-ball game; it’s a good development: Ganguly.

The Indian cricket team will play its first-ever Day/Night Test match here against Bangladesh next month, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly told PTI on Tuesday, taking a path-breaking decision within a week into his nine-month tenure.

The Test is scheduled to be held at the Eden Gardens from November 22-26 and will be the second game of a two-match series.

Speculation ends

The development ended days of speculation after Ganguly first proposed the idea to the Bangladesh Cricket Board, which faced resistance from its players and sat for multiple meetings to convince them.

“The BCB has confirmed and we are having a pink-ball Test. It’s a good development. Test cricket needs this push. Me and my team were bent on it and thanks to Virat (Kohli) also, he agreed,” Ganguly said.
