Former Australia captain Michael Clarke feels that the viability of day-night Test cricket will be decided by the players.

The Aussies take on New Zealand in the inaugural day-night Test at the Adelaide Oval, which starts on Friday.

• Clarke remembers Hughes one year on
• Macksville takes its place among cricket’s sacred sites
• Mark Taylor suggests radical change to Test cricket

And while the 34-year-old acknowledges that he wasn’t the biggest fan of the concept initially, he said he is keen to see how it goes.

“I think I’ve probably grown with the idea,” Clarke said in the Herald Sun.

“I think it’s exciting to try it. There’s been so much talk about it.

“I think we’ve just got to let the players tell us whether they think it worked or not. They will know more than anyone else.”

New Zealand paceman Trent Boult is in doubt for the historic game with a back issue, while Australia batsman Usman Khawaja will miss the game with a hamstring injury.
