Melbourne: Cricket Australia today confirmed that the Adelaide Test against India will not be a day-night affair after the latter expressed reservations over playing with pink ball.
The current ICC Playing Conditions stipulate that
a day-night Test match
can be held only "with the agreement of the visiting Board".
BCCI secretary Amitabh Choudhary had written to CA, saying that India are not yet ready to play with pink ball and would prefer playing the Adelaide Test with traditional red ball.
"We can confirm that we have received advice from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that it is not prepared to participate in a proposed Day-Night Test in Adelaide this summer," a CA spokesperson said.
"Whilst we appreciate some Adelaide fans may
be disappointed, we know how popular the Adelaide Test is."
