Chris Gayle throws his weight behind day-night Tests - chairman - 05-15-2016

West Indies batsman Chris Gayle believes that the concept of day-night Test matches will succeed in increasing the popularity of the format.

Giving his views about the day-night Tests Gayle said, “It’s going to be different for the fans (but) I don't see any reason why the concept can't take off and be as successful as the shorter forms of the game.”

Having support for the day/night matches from cricketers as prestigious as Chris Gayle is, should make the cricketing bodies around the world look at adopting this new format of the game.

The most important thing I think is to bring cricket up to date, and get people coming back to watch test match cricket. Many fans think the day/night games could work, and if the players do aswell then they should be given a go.
