BCCI is reportedly unwilling to host another Day/Night Test in India. Even during Australia's tour of India which will happen in February, no pink ball Test will be conducted, as per reports. 

While no specific reasons have been enlisted, as per a BCCI official, it is majorly about the dissatisfaction of the stakeholders which is mostly around the slump in the duration of the day-nighter Test matches. 

As per statistics, of the total 20 Tests that have been played worldwide, only 6 have reached the fifth day. The records are poorer for India, none of the D/N Test games have reached the fifth day. Games against Bangladesh, England and Sri Lanka lasted just 3, 2 and 3 days respectively.

While the BCCI official did not outright mention the grievances of the stakeholders, they said, it leads to a lot of issues, particularly with the public who buy tickets for 5 days.
