The Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai today firmly backed the Indian cricket team's decision of not playing Day/Night pink ball Test against Australia during the upcoming tour Down Under at the end of the year.
"What's wrong in us wanting to win all the matches? Any team that steps out on a pitch wants to win. 30 years back they said India play Test matches only to draw but they don't say that anymore," Rai said at historian Boria Majumdar's book launch in Delhi.
The former CAG said that India will play day-night Tests only when the players are ready.
"Till the time Indian players say that they are ready to play day-night matches there will be no day-night matches that India will play."
