    "editor1": "West Indies Cricket Board: Cricket Australia (CA) CEO Nick Hockley said the Test team will play three matches in the West Indies in June-July next year, as opposed to two games. As per the new World Test Championship cycle, Australia is supposed to play two Tests in West Indies.\n<p>But Hockley mentioned CA and Cricket West Indies (CWI) have decided to host three games instead. In January this year, Australia and West Indies drew the two-Test series one-all. Australia will be touring West Indies for Tests for the first time after 2015, where they had won both games in Dominica and Jamaica.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I am really glad that is going to manifest. We're still waiting for an official announcement from the West Indies Cricket Board around precise dates and precise locations but it will be a three Test series which is obviously big and is as it should be.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It's another great opportunity. The World Test Championship prescribed that we needed to play two, at least two. But really, for the fans and for the players, you don't want to be stuck in the position when it's one-one and everyone is feeling unsatisfied,\" said Hockley on SEN Radio during day two of Adelaide Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked about the likelihood of one Test match between Australia and the West Indies being a pink ball day-night Test fixture, Hockley said, \u201cI\u2019m not sure on that. That\u2019ll be confirmed in due course.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about the lights going out twice in the final session\u2019s play on Friday, Hockley stated, \u201cAll we know really is that it was a switching issue. We\u2019ve got really good reassurance that it\u2019s not going to happen again.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI was actually standing next to Charlie (Hodgson), he\u2019s the chief of the SACA and it\u2019s their ground. In those situations, you know that the venue managers and the experts are on the case, and I was pretty confident they\u2019d pop back up pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Quizzed on the future of 2025 Men\u2019s Champions Trophy, whose schedule and venues are in limbo for quite some time due to India not traveling to Pakistan, Hockley revealed there hadn\u2019t been formal talks, but a hybrid model for staging the tournament would make sense if situation is dire.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI was actually standing next to Charlie (Hodgson), he\u2019s the chief of the SACA and it\u2019s their ground.
