BCCI President and former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly said that they are planning to make Pink ball test matches on a regular basis. Ganguly thinks there should be at least one test match in those 3-4 test matches series in India. Meanwhile, India will host Sri Lanka for a 2 match test series. The test series will start on February 25, 2022. This will be India's first home test series after the recently ended Test series against NZ.
"We are planning to make pink ball Test a regular affair in India. I think everyone in BCCI is on the same page as well".

BCCI President Sourav Ganguly said the management is trying to make Pink ball test on a regular basis in the upcoming tours. Currently, Australia has organized two-day night tests in their ongoing Ashes 2021-22 series. The second and the last match will be a day-night game. The first one is going to start on December 16 and the last test's venue is yet to be announced. Although, the Perth stadium was scheduled to host the 2nd Pink ball test of the series, but cancelled due to the rise of Covid-19 cases.
BCCI has announced an 18 member squad for the SA tour last week. Indian cricket team will be leaving for South Africa next week and will undergo a 7-day quarantine there. The 3 match test series is scheduled to start on December 26.
