According to The Times of India, anonymous sources report India has decided to scrap plans for a home day-night test against the West Indies in October:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea was for the players to gain some kind of experience playing with the pink ball under lights.<\/h3>\n
\u201cBut now there\u2019s no need… because India is neither going to play the Adelaide Test under lights nor any in the future.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
According to The Advertiser<\/a>, Cricket Australia says it is still \u201cfinalising the detail\u201d of its 2018\/19 international fixtures.<\/p>\n
\u201cScheduling of any sport has its complexities, with a number of parties that need to be consulted. When creating the schedule though, we do look at opportunities to take elite cricket to non-traditional markets,\u201d a spokesperson said.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
And SACA chief executive Keith Bradshaw said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are hoping to have the India Test confirmed and whether that\u2019s day or day\/night will be up to Cricket Australia\u2019s negotiations with India.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
