ICC wants day-night Tests within 2 years

International Cricket Council president David Morgan says he will be “surprised and disappointed” if day-night Tests aren’t introduced within two years.

Morgan said the ICC still sees test cricket as the “pinnacle of the game,” and believes that day-night Tests could further boost its popularity.
