Top 10 changes in cricket in the past decade

#1. Day-night Tests

Australia and New Zealand played out the first ever day/night test at Adelaide in 2015

The advent and the rapid advance of T20 cricket since the turn of the century had left Test cricket gasping for breath. Barring a few high-profile ones, most Test matches witnessed a scanty attendance as more and more spectators were getting attracted by the glitz and blitz of the T20 format.

That's when the ICC thinktank got together and chalked out the idea of Day-night Tests in a bid to win over the audiences again. The thought process was very simple: if the day's play was to begin post-noon and continue beyond dusk, it would allow most of the students and the working population to make their way to the ground to catch some part of the action.

The lights, the atmosphere, and the use of a pink ball have only added to the mystique of this experiment. What's more, is that even the results have gone in favor of this little tweak. There have been eleven Day-night Tests so far and none of them has been a draw. India recently hosted its first Day-night Test vs Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens and it was a massive hit. It can, therefore, be safely said that Day-night Tests are here to stay.
