India vs Bangladesh: BCCI president Sourav Ganguly says sighting pink ball is easier than red ball

Kolkata: Visibility may have been one of the talking points in the run-up to the first day/night Test in India but BCCI president Sourav Ganguly feels sighting the pink ball is easier than the red ball.

Asked about visibility, the former India captain said: “It’s actually easier than the red ball.” Ganguly remained non-committal on whether India will play a pink ball Test in Australia next year. Ganguly, who was the man behind India hosting its maiden day/night Test after initial resistance, was delighted with the big turnout at the Eden Gardens. “So many watched the match, that is the most important. I was not under any tension but I was busy.” Ganguly thanked Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina for her presence on Friday, and promised to be present at the two T20Is between Asian all-star XI and World XI next year to celebrate the 100th birth anniversary of the ‘Father of the Nation’ Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. “I will go. I know you have gala plans for the event,” he said.
