Indian team has the potential to win a day/night Test: Sourav Ganguly

Indian team has the potential to win a day/night Test: Sourav Ganguly

The BCCI have opted to not play Day-Night test when India tour Australia later this year, saying that the team needs more time for preparation. However, former captain Sourav Ganguly believes that Indian team has the potential to win a day/night Test and terms pink-ball test as the future of cricket which the country will have to accept some day.

India and Bangladesh are the two countries who are not in favour of playing a Day/Night test.

While speaking at a promotional event in Kolkata, Ganguly said,” “Day/Night Test is the way forward. Every country has to play Day-Night Test. India has reservations but that’s a long term future for Test cricket,”.

Ganguly believes that Indian team has the potential to win a day/night Test.

“They (Indian side) are a good side, they will win D/N Test matches also. It’s just a different ball, I don’t think there’s any other difference. And they have such class players, they can win,” he said.

Ganguly also favored Indian captain Virat Kohli’s decision to skip the Afghanistan’s debut test in Bengaluru next month.

“I think since the side is Afghanistan, he has chosen to play county. If it would have been any other team, he would have not gone. It just shows how important the England tour is for him. I have always maintained, a captain’s recognition is how well he and his team does overseas,” said Ganguly.
