“I would have loved to play day/night Test cricket,” the Australian legend said in an interview show on Monday. “I think it is exciting, brings another dimension to the game.
“People want a bit of change, they want that excitement. Why not bring that into Test cricket? We have got it in Twenty20s. Let’s get a pink ball in and play a day/night Test if it is possible.”
Waugh, 44, said the concept needed to be thought through, however, since it wouldn’t work everywhere.
“Obviously in England it is not really possible because it doesn’t get dark till 10 o’clock in summer. Maybe in the subcontinent the dew might make it impossible. So you’ve got to have common sense around it as well.”
Waugh was optimistic about the future of Test cricket.
“Quality always survives,” he said. “As a cricketer I think you’ve got to be true to yourself.”
