Former India wicketkeeper-batsman Nayan Mongia revealed on Wednesday that while cricket fans and pundits are excited over the November 22-26 pink ball Test in Kolkata, he is not in favour of pink-ball cricket. 

"I am a bit of a traditionalist. It will be totally different when you play in the afternoon and totally different in the night. I still believe Test match cricket should be played in the day. It should be more exciting; more challenging and a good contest. People are staying away from the ground because there is not enough challenge between bat and ball," Mongia said on the sidelines of a Rotary Club event where support to the Road Safety World Series was announced at the Otters Club.
