Sydney, June 30 (IBNS): Heralding in a new era in Test cricket, Australia and New Zealand will play the first Test under lights with a pink ball in November, media reports said.

"The Adelaide Oval will host the first ever day-night Test match when Australia host New Zealand from November 27," cricket.com.au reported.

Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland was quoted as saying by the website: "One of the global challenges with Test cricket is that most of the matches outside holiday periods are played on week days, in the middle of the day when people are at work and kids are at school."

New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said: "Since the first Test in 1877 there have been numerous changes to the laws and rules in an effort to ensure the game remains relevant – and this is another."
