CRICKET Australia welcomed the prospect of day-night tests following a decision by the sport's governing body that paves the way for the long-form the game to be played under lights.
The International Cricket Council announced on Monday that test-playing nations can now agree to play day-night test matches, mutually deciding the hours of play and the color and type of ball used. Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said fans have a better chance of watching matches if they are played at night. He said the ICC decision meant there was one less obstacle to test matches being moved into the evening.
