Dawn Miandad favours floodlights for Test
31 October 2000

Rawalpindi, Oct 30: Pakistan coach Javed Miandad said on Monday that he would have no objection to utilizing the lights facility for the Lahore and Karachi Tests.

"I think its a very good idea. Pakistan will not object but a unilateral decision cannot be taken. It has to be bilateral," Miandad said.

The first Test at Lahore will be played between Nov 15 and 19 while the third Test will be played at Karachi between Dec 7 and 11. Both the expected to be affected by bad light because of short days.

"I want to play positive cricket. I want that full 90 overs are bowled in a day so that both the teams get even chances. There is no point of playing 50-60 overs in a day and not utilizing the facility of lights," he said.
