The Indian Cricket Board has ruled out playing Day-Night Test against Australia in Adelaide. After refusing BCCI, Sri Lanka has accepted Cricket Australia and they will play De-Knight Test with hosts on Brisbane's Gabba ground next year.

The BCCI refused to play the Day-Night Test in the Test Series to be held this year-end by writing a letter to CA on Monday.

A CA spokesman said, "We confirm that we have received a letter from the BCCI in which he has refused to play Day-Night Test in Adelaide."

The spokesman said, "We know that some Cricket fans of Adelaide will be disappointed with this. We know how well the Adelaide Test is."

He said, "We are committed to organizing a Day-Night Test match in every Summer season, so we will play Test matches in Sri Lanka in Gaza this format in January."

According to the rules of the International Cricket Council (ICC), host country can host a day-night format test match with the country's approval. This match is played with a pink ball. India has said that he will play matches with the traditional red ball.

India is among the two countries which have not yet cleared their approval for playing Test matches in the Day-Night format. Apart from India, Bangladesh is also included in this.
