New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has opened up to the possibility of playing a Day/Night Test match with pink ball during the tour of India later this year.
In order to raise the dwindling number of spectators in the stadium, the BCCI last week said it is all set to host its first-ever Day/Night cricket Test with pink ball against New Zealand in October.
NZC chief executive David White had talks with the Indian officials during ICC meeting in Dubai late last week.
"We've said we are receptive to the idea," New Zealand Herald quoted White as saying.
He added, "We will work closely with the players, but in saying that, if the trials look good and they (India) are comfortable with (the trials) it's very positive from our point of view. We believe day-night Test cricket has a big future in the game."
Mumbai could emerge as the most likely venue to host the game should the two boards go ahead with the plan.
India will try out playing with pink balls in domestic matches before NZ's arrival.
BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur had said, "We have decided that we will play one Day/Night Test with pink ball against NZ later this year. Before that Duleep Trophy will act as a dress rehearsal for Day/Night Test."
