The Cricket West Indies (CWI) has agreed to play a day/night Test in India. Replying to an email from the BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary, the CWI chief Dave Cameron has said: “As per our discussions we would gladly agree to a day/night Test Match being the first one. Additionally, we would require the warm up game to be under lights as well. Thanks much and look forward to finalizing the schedule.”

Earlier, Choudhary had asked for Cameron’s views on a day/night Test in India, saying: “This is with regard to our onward conversation on the subject of day-night test match between the visiting West Indies team and hosts India. As you know our respective national teams play two test matches this coming season. Kindly let us know of your views on the subject.”

India hosting its first-ever day/night Test later this year, however, is subject to the Committee of Administrators (CoA) approval. “If the approval comes, then Rajkot is likely to have the first day/night Test,” a BCCI official said on Saturday.

During its meeting on Saturday, the cricket board’s Tour, Programme and Fixtures Committee picked Rajkot and Hyderabad as the venues for the two Test matches against West Indies, in October. As per report, Mumbai, Guwahati, Kochi, Indore and Pune will host the five ODIs matches against the visiting nation Caribbeans, while Kolkata, Chennai and Kanpur have been selected for three T20 internationals.
