It is new to both sides and it will probably bring the two teams together,&quot; Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Both teams not quite knowing what is going to happen, so it is a challenge we want to take. Some of our players were skeptical about it, but we are excited. We don&#39;t know what brand of ball will be used, and we will probably have little time to prepare but we are excited by it.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>BCCI president Sourav Ganguly is the man behind making this happen as he pushed the BCB to play under floodlights in a bid to pull crowds to the stadiums.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ganguly met Kohli for the first time since becoming BCCI President at the Cricket Centre in Mumbai last Thursday, and it is believed the former India skipper had a word regarding Day-Night Tests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Indian team was earlier not keen on playing Day-Night Tests. India had previously dodged plans to play a pink-ball Test in Adelaide during their tour Down Under last year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>There was also reluctance on India&#39;s part when a move to host a Day-Night Test against the West Indies at home was brushed under the carpet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ganguly has always backed pink ball Tests, even when he was the head of the BCCI&#39;s technical committee in 2016-17. Ganguly had then recommended that domestic tournaments be played under lights.<\/p>\r\n",
