India aware day-night Test won't suit them: Michael Clarke

Kolkata, May 9 (CRICKETNMORE) - Terming this as a "chance" for India to script their first-ever Test series win Down Under, former Australia captain Michael Clarke on Wednesday said India had their reasons to back out of a Day/Night match during

Explaining the rationale behind India not wanting to play in white flannels under floodlights, Clarke said: "If India play during the day, the wicket is flatter and spin a little bit more. At night there is no spin, there is moisture and bit more movement." "So India prefer to take their chances during the day like they have played every other Test match throughout their careers.""So I can understand why they are not wanting to play D/N test matches," said the 37-year-old who skippered Australia to the 2015 World Cup.Clarke though backed the Day-Night Tests, saying this is the future and would engage more fans watching the game.

"I do believe for the game, particularly in the summer of Australia, to get people watching on television we are going to see a lot more D/N Test matches moving forward and probably around the world."Clarke spilled the beans on how the Aussies got rid of the dangerous New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum in the 2015 World Cup final by plotting yorkers against the dashing wicketkeeper-batsman who had till then been in great form.
