Cricket News: India to host 1st ever day-night Test in Kolkata

In a historic move, Bangladesh Cricket Board agreed to BCCI's proposal to host a day-night Test in the upcoming 2-Test series between the two teams. India will thus host their first-ever pink-ball Test at Eden Gardens, Kolkata from November 22. Newly-appointed BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, who has been an ardent supporter of day-night Tests, made his intentions clear when he said Virat Kohli was agreeable to India playing day-night Tests. Ganguly had earlier, confirmed he had spoken to BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chaudhary about BCCI's proposal to play the 2nd and final Test of the 2-match series in Kolkata with the pink-ball. He said BCB were agreeable but that the cricket body wanted to discuss with its players and team management before taking the final call.
