Cricket Australia Defends Day/Night Ashes Tests
Cricket Australia (CA) has responded to criticism from England's Joe Root about Day/Night Ashes Tests.
CA believes these matches make cricket more accessible and enjoyable for fans.
They plan to continue hosting one Day/Night Test each home summer.
The Gabba will host more Tests before its demolition after the 2032 Summer Games.
The next pink-ball Test is scheduled for the MCG in March 2027.
CA's Joel Morrison emphasized the positive impact of Day/Night Tests on fan attendance and the quality of cricket.
