Pink ball to debut in India

India will witness its first ever multi-day pink ball game at Kolkata's Eden Gardens from Saturday, a possible precursor to a day-night Test later this year.

The four-day match is an inter-club final between Mohun Bagan and Bhowanipore Club which is being hosted by the Cricket Association of Bengal.

The success of the experiment is expected to have a bearing on efforts by the BCCI to host a day-night pink ball Test against New Zealand in October.
