SA agree to day-night Australia Test

AFP, SYDNEY: South Africa have overcome their reservations and agreed to play a day-night pink ball Test against Australia in Adelaide this year, cricket chiefs announced Wednesday.
Australia unveiled plans for day-night Tests against South Africa and Pakistan in April, but admitted player concerns about the experimental format meant the Proteas' fixture was not locked in.
It is now confirmed for November 24-28.
“This announcement will further fuel the excitement about what promises to be a fascinating series between formidable rivals," said Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland.
Cricket South Africa chief Haroon Lorgat said the decision was made after talks with players, who initially feared they would be disadvantaged by having no experience under pink ball conditions.
