It is Important to Hold One Day-Night Test in Every Series: Sourav Ganguly

BCCI President and former captain of the Indian team, Sourav Ganguly believes that it is necessary to hold a pink test in every Test series.

BCCI President and former captain of the Indian team, Sourav Ganguly believes that it is necessary to hold a pink test in every Test series. He said this because more and more spectators can sit in the stadium and watch the match. Let us tell you that BCCI hosted the Pink-ball Test between against Bangladesh last year.

The day-night test match between hosts India and Bangladesh had managed to draw the audience at the Eden Gardens. Record viewers were reached to watch this match. Speaking on a chat show with opener Mayank Aggarwal, Sourav Ganguly said, "I think a day-night test, one match in a series, is important because cricket needs everyone's back. We played the pink ball test in Kolkata and I don't think it was a normal India-Bangladesh Test match. "

Sourav took permission from BCB to play first pink-ball test:

Former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president Sourav Ganguly has said, "I expected the match to last five days, in just three days we were able to manage 3,50,000 people into the ground." Ever since Ganguly took over as BCCI president, he has been vocal in bringing some innovation to the game. The first day-night Test match played by the Indian team was due to him, as he himself took permission from the Bangladesh Cricket Board. Even on the proposed Australian tour later this year, the Indian team will play the Pink Test.

Test cricket is the best and toughest format: Sourav

Last year, the ICC said they wanted to make some changes to the longest format and the apex body had suggested trying four-day Test matches. However, Ganguly has said that he is not a fan of this particular idea. He has said, "I think innovation is important in every aspect of life. I am not a big fan of the four-day test, because I think a lot of matches will not end in four days. You have five days, You look at it differently. I don't think there is any need to tamper with the test format. Test cricket is the best and toughest format for me. "
