Test Cricket - Day-Night Tests

Day-Night Tests

On October 29, 2012 The International Cricket Council paved the way for the staging of day-night Test matches.

The onus, however, is on individual boards to decide on the desirability and feasibility of day-night matches for a particular series and on the type and colour of the ball to be used.

“Participating countries may agree to play day/night Test matches. The home and visiting boards will decide on the hours of play which will be six hours of scheduled play per day while the two boards will also decide on the precise brand, type and colour of ball to be used for the match.”
