Marsh dismisses day-night Tests

Australia great Rodney Marsh has said that concerns over ball colour should not stop the staging of day/night Tests, given it is more than 30 years since he played in floodlit “Supertests” during World Series Cricket.

Last month the sport’s global governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), announced Tests could be played under lights, with rival teams deciding on the hours of play and the colour of the ball to be used.

“I say bring it on!” Marsh, who played in the “rebel” World Series Cricket run by the Australian media mogul Kerry Packer in the 1970s, which pioneered innovations now commonplace to the world game such as coloured clothing and floodlights.
