Day- Night Tests a certainty?

The ICC appears keen to introduce day - night Test matches in order to make Test matches more popular.

 

In fact at the end of a 2 day board meeting at Johannesburg, ICC released a statement that there will be "further research into various proposals for product development and variation of Test cricket, including day-night Test matches".

Though a cricketing 'purist' may look askance, day - night Test matches appear the only way to attract a wider audience for Test cricket.

 

Another idea though this one is unofficial, is to build a 'context' around a Test match. The propagators behind this idea believe, by building a context around a Test match for example a stake at the World Champion Test side title, it will attract more crowd to watch them.
