By Saurabh Sharma October 16, 2019 • 22:25 PM View: 1047

New Delhi, Oct 16: The Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) stance with regards to playing day-night Test matches is set to change with Sourav Ganguly officially taking over as President on October 23. The former India skipper has made it clear that with the World Test Championship having the option of the teams organising day-night games, India too needs to move forward rather than hold back.

Speaking to IANS, Ganguly made it clear that discussing the idea of the Indian team playing pink-ball cricket would definitely be on the top of his to-do-list after he comes to office.
