D/N Test for Tigers in 2016?
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) is formulating plans to play a floodlit Day/Night Test match against Bangladesh in December 2016.
The trial will be done in their domestic Plunket Shield next February, and if all goes well then they will present an offer to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to play a pink ball fixture.
Lindsay Crocker, New Zealand Cricket's head of cricket, said December was the right time of year for the concept.
"We think the best one to try it in would be Bangladesh in December," Crocker told stuff.co.nz. "We think November is a little early so that December series could potentially be one. But we haven't discussed that with them yet.
Should this [today's] Adelaide match go successfully and we're satisfied that we can try it, then we would go ahead," Crocker concluded.
The BCB said it hadn't been approached yet. "They haven't told us but if it comes up, it will first go to the cricket committee, then we will take a policy decision on the board level," the chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury told ESPNcricinfo.
