Pink-ball Tests can’t replace traditional red-ball games, opines Sourav Ganguly

Earlier, CA chairman Earl Eddings had revealed his hopes of hosting two pink-ball Test matches when India tour Australia in the year 2021. Eddings also spoke highly of Sourav Ganguly whose efforts in making the first ever D/N for India happen. It was Ganguly who managed to convince Bangladesh for the pink-ball Test just within a week of taking over as chairman of the board.

CA’s Chief Executive Kevin Roberts had also spoken about having more than one Day/Night Tests during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2021. 

However, a supporter of the D/N setup, Ganguly does not believe in playing more than one such game in a single series. While Ganguly said he is yet to hear "anything officially" from Cricket Australia, he has made his decisions clear.

"Two out of four will be a bit too much...it can’t replace traditional Test matches. But we can have one Pink Test every series,” Ganguly said, as quoted by PTI.
