SLC Treasurer Sujeewa Godaliyadda: India could be playing a Pink Ball Day/Night Test when they visit Sri Lanka for a long-form series next time. Sri Lanka Cricket is laying the groundwork for a new chapter in the island’s cricketing history, with plans to stage Day-Night Test matches at the historic Sinhalese Sports Club ground in Colombo, a report said on Friday.

The installation of floodlights at the Sinhalese Sports Club has now been completed, and SLC Treasurer Sujeewa Godaliyadda said the project goes well beyond the immediate demands of the upcoming T20 World Cup, the Telecom Asia Sport (www.telecomasia.net) reported.

The report claimed that SLC has funded the floodlight project for Rs. 1.8 billion as the SSC is set to host five matches of the showpiece event. The other venues for the tournament will be the Pallekele International Stadium and the R. Premadasa Stadium.
