Newly appointed Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly expressed his desire to introduce Pink-ball cricket to the Indian cricket.

The 47-year-old said that India may opt to play day-night Tests in World Test Championship. 

"We will deal with it. It is too early for me to comment on how we will work on this, but let me take office and then we will discuss this with every member," Ganguly said while speaking to IANS. 

Team India previously did refuse to play a day-night Test match against Australia in Adelaide. Even though they once agreed to play one against West Indies but pulled out of the match saying they aren't ready for it yet.

Sourav also claimed that it may be correct not to see any day-night matches in the ongoing WTC. 

"World Test Championship has a day-night Test because Adelaide will host a pink-ball Test. I don't think it is the right call to say that World Test Championship wouldn't have day-night Tests," he opined.

"Day-night Test is the way forward. Every country has to play day-night Test, that's a long-term future for Test cricket. They (India) are a good side; they will win day-night Test matches also."

"There is no difference in day-night Test matches and day Tests. It's just a different ball. They are such class players; they can win," Ganguly said.
