BCCI president Anurag Thakur has said India will not play any day-night Test at home this season. Thakur put to rest speculation on India hosting their first ever day-night Test in the long home season comprising 13 Tests which will be played up to March.Thakur said more experiments like the one in Duleep Trophy were needed before BCCI took the final call on introducing the pink ball in Tests.It is too early to say anything [about pink ball]. As far as trying it in Duleep Trophy under lights is concerned, it was a big success. But you need to look at overall picture before you take the final call, Thakur told PTI.I think we need to look into many areas before we take the final call. I would like to go into details in a scientific manner to take the final call. As of now, we are not ready to implement pink ball this season.The pink ball was initially expected to be used in the ongoing Test series with New Zealand but the decision was put off amid speculation that it could be done in the upcoming home series against England and Australia. India are also scheduled to play a one-off Test against Bangladesh. Thakur explained why more time was needed before using the pink ball for the first time.I think we need to take the final call after keeping a few things in mind. First, how to make it more interesting [for fans] and result-oriented, he said. If you have matches like the one in Kanpur [which lasted five days], well done.Then we dont need to do anything. Second, how do you involve more fans who come to the ground or watch it on TV? Third, you really need to look into areas as to how [pink ball] is impacting Test cricket at a time when enough people are not coming to watch Test cricket. What are the real reasons behind it?One more factor to be considered, he said, was the role of pink ball or red ball in terms of seam, shine, turn, swing and late swing.With the red ball, you can have reverse swing after 20-25 overs, but with pink you cant. So the challenge for batsman goes away, Thakur said.This seasons Duleep Trophy attracted mixed responses about the use of pink ball from the current and former players. Thakur said the pink ball should be tested in at least a couple of domestic seasons before it is used in Tests.Even if you have to play with pink ball, you should play two-three seasons with it in domestic cricket. Let us look at the ball, how it behaves, how the grounds behave.Let us take Test matches to smaller venues and see if it makes any difference. You need to take it to much smaller centres where people have not seen international cricket. We must segregate Test and ODI venues and take Test cricket to smaller venues.The way we have opened up new Test centres. Now we will wait and see how the response is in all these venues. That will be a real Test for the BCCI. Mark Duper Jersey . -- Charlie Graham stopped 67 shots as the Belleville Bulls edged the visiting Guelph Storm 6-5 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.

CINCINNATI -- Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton was placed in the concussion protocol program after getting hit by a fly ball that deflected off left fielder Adam Duvalls glove during Wednesdays game against the Chicago Cubs.The hit, which came off the bat of Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, resulted in a three-run, inside-the-park home run.Hamilton and Duvall?were converging on Rizzos line drive to left center field in the first inning when the ball deflected off Duvalls glove, hitting Hamilton in the face.Hamilton was on the ground as the ball rolled to the wall in left field. Rizzo circled the bases for an inside-the-park home run, the first of his career.We both called for it at the same time, Duvall said. I thought we were going to collide. I didnt take my eye off the ball, but I mightve flinched a little biit.dddddddddddd It hit him pretty good. It ended up rolling pretty far.Rizzo said he couldnt remember the last time he circled the bases that way.Maybe Little League? he said. Nothing like that. Ill take it.It was the Cubs first inside-the-park homer since 2011, when Tony Campana circled the bases, also against Cincinnati.Earlier this month, Hamilton was on the seven-day disabled list because of a concussion he suffered sliding into third base.Reporters could see a noticeable knot on the side of Hamiltons head Wednesday after the game, but he did not speak to the media.The Cubs beat the Reds 9-2 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
