    "editor1": "<p><strong>Melbourne, Dec 9:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>Former Australia skipper Ian Chappell believes the idea mooted of playing two day-night Tests by Cricket Australia against India in 2020-21 &quot;may backfire&quot; considering the fact that the Virat Kohli&#39;s men have a strong bowling attack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a column for ESPNcricinfo, Chappell said: &quot;Cricket Australia is contemplating two day-night Tests for the 2020-21 Indian tour.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;However, if that ploy is meant to advantage Australia, it may backfire as India have a strong attack and (Virat) Kohli has already shown he&#39;s adept at captaincy in this part of the world,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to a report in ESPNcricinfo, when Australia visit India next year for a limited-overs series in January, a Cricket Australia (CA) delegation, led by its chairman Earl Eddings, is set to meet the new BCCI administration with the question of day-night Tests on the agenda.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Pleasingly they&#39;ve played their first day-night Test and won easily. Now they&#39;ve got through that it might give them the right build-up to it over here. I&#39;ve got no doubt they&#39;ll consider playing one and maybe even more day-night Test matches. But that&#39;s down the track to when we catch up with them in January,&quot; Eddings said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly doesn&#39;t seem keen on the idea. &quot;I have not heard anything officially from Cricket Australia. Two out of four will be a bit too much...it can&#39;t replace traditional Test matches. But we can have one Pink Test every series,&quot; Ganguly said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India last month played its first-ever pink-ball Test at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata where they clinched a domineering victory against Bangladesh. After that Test, captain Kohli was asked about the prospect of one during the Australia tour next year and he said he was &quot;open to do anything&quot; as long as there was a practice match under lights.<\/p>\r\n",
