Morgan predicts day/night Tests ‘within two years’

Morgan predicts day/night Tests ‘within two years’

LONDON, Dec 16: International Cricket Council president David Morgan said on Wednesday he would be “surprised if we don’t see day/night Test cricket within the next two years”.

While attendances for Test match cricket in England remain strong, crowds for five-day cricket in other leading nations have been in decline for several years. As part of plans to boost Test match crowds around the world, the ICC has been looking at staging five-day games in a day/night format - something that currently happens only for One-dayers and Twenty20 internationals.
