Pakistan propose 'home' day-night Test

Misbah-ul-Haq outlining his team's preparations for Brisbane day-night Test, could include the pink ball collide Windies
Pakistan hoped that the West Indies to organize in a day-night Test in October in front of their pink-ball showdown with Australia in December, while captain has confirmed Misbah-ul-Haq domestic day-night matches, is also a crucial part his team make preparations for the Brisbane test. Cricket.com.au understands the Pakistan Cricket Board has sent a proposal to the West Indies Cricket Board to play in this year a day-night Test in October when the Windies is the United Arab Emirates for two Tests and six limited over internationals Tour , If the offer is accepted, it would be a major boost for Pakistan, the UAE their home tests usually play in front of empty grandstands.
It would also ensure that they travel to Australia is well equipped to handle the difficult conditions, as they defeat the first team Australia to be in a test at the Gabba target since 1988. The PCB long been a fan of day-night Test was cricket, the first nation officially a team, Sri Lanka invite been playing an examination under lights in Dubai in 2013 - an offer from Sri Lanka dismissed because of their players lack of match practice with the pink ball.
Although the offer of West Indies repelled confirmed Misbah the Pakistan players would be exposed in the pink ball in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, -night leading first-class tournament in the country, probably to play with each team at least one day first-class game later this year.
If it is difficult not match practice to play at Test level "Misbah, the advisor to the Cricket Committee is PCB, said cricket.com.au." It was one of the things in the cricket committee discussed last session. "The bowlers are at advantage in the evening session, and it is very difficult for bats under lights. This is one reason that cricketers from other countries are also reluctant to play Tests under light." Another reason is the lack of match practice with the pink ball. The players have hardly played cricket under these conditions on the national level. They need more match practice before playing at the international level. "
Misbah said while he still held some concerns about batting under lighting with a pink ball, he was ready, the concept back when he day-night tests are necessary believed to rejuvenate the sport. "Even though we play the game some concerns about the absence of light, especially the batsmen have found to beat it in the evening session with the pink ball difficult, I think, day-night Test cricket is (required)." There is excitement among the players but at the same time there will be some concern also because Test cricket is quite difficult, and it will be even more difficult for the clubs. "

His views were backed by former Pakistan captain and PCB chief Ramiz Raja, who also supported the idea of ​​hosting day-night Tests in the United Arab Emirates. "It is very good innovation and Test cricket will help to increase the audience. The audience loses interest in Test cricket and I think to bring day / night Tests in Asia again especially," said Ramiz cricket.com.au from India. "PCB should look for it in the UAE, to experiment, such as the small masses a problem in Asia." When you remind people, concerns about T20 cricket as well, but it was not long before she accepts the format. Similarly, it will take some time until we come to us with the concept of day-night Test cricket. "
Ramiz said international players proud to know that they were part of the Cricket Evolution. "Of course, the players will have a little difficulty, while adjusted to the new conditions, but you should not worry much that it or they will not be able to enjoy it and to lose the tension," he said. "As an international cricketer, you should be able to adjust to the conditions. It is not should be so difficult. The players are proud, should know that they are going to be part of the development of cricket." While overturning the current number 1 test team will be no easy task for Pakistan on home soil in December, believes Ramiz Pakistan strong pace attack they could make a big advantage under lights hand. "Pakistan has a good record in Test cricket and have done well lately. The bowlers, the kind of CV have that can help you work anywhere give." Through their pace attack they will play be advantageous under the lights. "
