Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) wants to get clearance from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to host a day-night club match to test the state board's preparedness for the proposed first pink ball Test in the country.

Ganguly, who is the president of CAB, said the state board is contemplating to experiment with pink ball in a day-night match in their upcoming Super League final next month.

"Yes, we want to play host to a pink-ball Test in the future. We will have to be ready for the requirements. As you know, we will try to host a local four-day match with the pink ball under the floodlights as a test. But we will have to get the clearance from the Board first," Ganguly said.

Speaking on the ongoing Indian Premier League, Ganguly said Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Rising Pune Supergiants are suffering because of injury woes.

"Dhoni has got quite a few injury issues in his team and that has hampered their chances," he said.

Asked about the poor run of Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore, he said: "Kohli has got into too many winning positions and lost. RCB should have won 50 per cent of the matches that they have lost. But you have got to give credit to the way Gujarat Lions and Delhi Daredevils have played. That is how T20 cricket is."

Ganguly also welcomed the decision to name Sachin Tendulkar as the goodwill ambassador for the Indian contingent in the Rio Olympics.

"It's not fair to give an opinion on everything. I wish the Indian contingent good luck and I wish all of them are successful," he said.
