Morgan said this in the wake of the few changes that are being mooted, including a two-tier format and day-night Tests. "We need better over-rates, better pitches that give a good balance between bat and ball and we need to consider day-night Test cricket," he said.


The ICC president is very keen for the day-night Test and mulling on the option of the pink ball during the night games. "We are looking very closely at ball manufacturing design that replicates a red ball, maybe an orange ball, a ball that could still allow us to play in white clothing and still at night."
