West Indies to host first day-night Test against Sri Lanka

Monitoring Desk

COLOMBO: The West Indies will host their first ever day-night Test when Sri Lanka tours the Caribbean in June, cricket officials said on Tuesday. The final Test of the three-match series will be a day-night encounter at the Kensington Oval in Barbados starting June 23, said Sri Lanka Cricket.

Sri Lanka depart for the West Indies in late May and will play a two-day warm up match before the opening Test starting June 6 at the Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad and Tobago. The second Test gets underway June 14 at St. Lucia. The West Indies have played two day-night Tests but never on home soil. Sri Lanka made their pink-ball Test debut against Pakistan last year in the United Arab Emirates. Australia hosted New Zealand for the first-ever Test played under lights with a pink ball at the Adelaide Oval in November 2015.
