Kolkata: BCCI President Sourav Ganguly said the historic decision to organise India's first-ever day-night Test is based on "common sense" as it is the only way to revive falling crowd interest in the traditional format. India's maiden day-night Test against Bangladesh, the second game of a two-match series, will be held at Eden Gardens here from November 22 to 26 and will be a first for the visiting side as well.
Ganguly said he is happy that India skipper Virat Kohli as well as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have agreed on a historic first at such a short notice. "It's just my job, that's what I'm here for... because I've played this game for so long. It's great. I think common sense is important. And I think it's a great move for Test cricket and hopefully it will bring crowds back to the ground," Ganguly told PTI in an interview just after the landmark development.
