Come February 25 next year, they will hopefully watch a Test match played under lights for the first time when Sri Lanka host India in the second match of the Asian Test championship.
The venue for the Test will in all probability be the R. Premadasa Stadium which has the facilities to host such a match.
The technical committee of the Asian Test championship comprising former Test players Sunil Gavaskar (India), Majid Khan (Pakistan) and Ashantha de Mel (Sri Lanka) will look into the possibilities of playing all four Tests under lights if bad light affects play in any of the five days of a Test.
If such a decision is arrived at, then the venues for the matches will be Eden Gardens (Calcutta), R. Premadasa Stadium (Colombo), Gaddafi Stadium (Lahore) and Bangabandu Stadium (Dhaka) - all four venues where floodlights are available.
Dhaka, has been picked to host the final after Bangladesh displayed their organising capabilities by successfully conducting the mini World Cup in October this year.
