New Zealand Cricket Pushing Ahead With Day-Night Match Plans

New Zealand Cricket appears to be "pushing ahead with plans to trial day-night first class matches" as it builds toward hosting its inaugural pink ball home test against England in '18, according to Greg Stutchbury of REUTERS. NZC released its '16-17 domestic fixture list on Tuesday and Wellington Regional Stadium, "which has never hosted a first class match and has been used solely for day-night limited-overs international cricket, is to host one of the Plunket Shield games scheduled to begin on March 6." Auckland's Eden Park and Hamilton's Seddon Park, both of which have lights, "will also host matches starting on March 6." All three games "have not had their start times confirmed," while every other Plunket Shield match in the '16-17 season has a traditional start time of 10:30am. NZC said that it "hoped to play" its first day-night test match at home against England in '18 (REUTERS, 8/30).

The matches "will be the first ODIs hosted by Bangladesh since last year" when it won series against Pakistan, India, South Africa and Zimbabwe (DAWN, 8/29).
