ROTORUA (New Zealand): New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult has welcomed the prospect of a day-night Test against India, saying there needs to be more pink-ball Tests.
Boult has been on an extended stay in India where team selections have kept one of the Black Caps’ finest exponents of swing bowling confined to the nets. Boult did not feature in New Zealand’s World T20 campaign that ended in the semi-finals, and is yet to feature in the current IPL season for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Itching to get back onto the field – the 26-year-old’s last competitive match was February’s Christchurch Test against Australia – Boult’s interest has been piqued by talk India’s plans to host a day-night Test against the touring Black Caps in October.
“The experience of playing the Test with the pink ball [in Adelaide last year] was great, the buzz was fantastic,” Boult told Wisden Asia.
“It’s definitely exciting for Test cricket, and we need to see more of it.”
