MUMBAI: Sourav Ganguly, the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) president has said that one pink-ball Test in every series is ideal and it will help bring crowds in large numbers for the longest format of the game. India and England will next lock horns in a pink-ball Test, beginning 24 February at the Motera Stadium, Ahmedabad. “Ahmedabad is completely sold out. I speak to Jay Shah and he’s very keen on these Test matches. Just for him also cricket is coming back to Ahmedabad after six-seven years because they built the new stadium, and I have told him we have set an example with pink-ball Test last year in Kolkata, so it cannot go beyond that and we want to see every seat and stand full. And that’s what it is, the tickets have gone, as well as for the T20s which will follow the Tests,” Ganguly told Star Sports. “One pink-ball Test in a series is ideal. Every generation goes through changes, pink ball is one of the main changes for Test match cricket, and to keep Test match cricket alive,” he added.
