5 reasons why pink-ball Day-Night Test is the future

Test might have had a rebirth with the Day-Night format

Ever since the first Day-Night Test was played, some breathtaking photographs and visuals have emerged from the field of play under floodlights. Let’s admit it. Watching Test under floodlights is beautiful.

It has a romance of its own so much so that you feel Test cricket has been re-born now is a different avatar. This was exactly the rationale that went into it in the first place because there was an ardent need to re-package Test cricket to make it palatable to a generation drunk on T20s.

If we look back to the adoption of coloured clothing and introduction of Day-Night matches in the ODI format, we have to remember how the change revolutionised the game. And the many moments of wonderful magic that ODI cricket has given us since like those matches in Sharjah in the 90s.

Test cricket in its nascent journey to reinvent itself might be at that stage now. That journey has just begun and this is a step in the right direction.
