The West Australian: Cricket Australia has reaffirmed its commitment to staging day-night Tests in future home Ashes series, brushing aside fresh debate sparked by England batter Joe Root over the format’s place in the historic rivalry.

Pink-ball matches have become a regular feature of recent Ashes contests on Australian soil, with the Gabba preparing to host the second Test of the current series under lights from Thursday.

Recently, Root questions the necessity of a pink-ball Test in the Ashes, saying, "A series like this, does it need it? I don't think so."
