PCB all set to make history with the first ever Pink Ball Day and Night Test Match

KARACHI: Pakistan Cricket Board all set to make history with the first everPink Ball Day and Night Test Match on Pakistan.

Pakistan could have its first taste of day-night Test cricket whenBangladesh visit the country early next year, sources within the PakistanCricket Board (PCB) told private channel on Sunday.

The PCB has reportedly decided to turn the Karachi Test of the Pak-Banglaseries into a pink-ball day-night fixture.

While most top Test playing nations have by now staged at least oneday-night match, Pakistan has been unable to do the same on its own soil.

The PCB has, however, staged a day-night Test in the UAE, where it had beenplaying its home series over the last decade due to foreign teams’ refusalto visit them.

The Sri Lankan team’s impending arrival for a Test series is expected tobreak the barrier, following which modern cricket’s latest offering, suchas pink-ball fixtures, would also be seen in Pakistan.
