Australia chief executive James Sutherland says that the team are keen to play a day-night Test during the 2017-18 Ashes series.

Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland has revealed that he and the association are keen on having a day-night Test implemented into the 2017-18 Ashes series against England.

The Aussies hosted the first ever Test using the pink ball in November when they took on New Zealand in Adelaide.

Sutherland is hopeful that the team will play day-night Test matches against Pakistan and South Africa this year.

"[A day-night Ashes Test] is certainly on the radar," Sutherland told ABC Radio. "We haven't had any formal conversations with the ECB. With the success of the Adelaide Test match this year, the anticipation is that we will have at least one day-night Test [in 2016].

"It seems like it would be a natural progression for there to be an Ashes day-night Test match in 2017-18. We'll have meetings in Dubai [in January] with a lot of the chief executives and certainly be talking to counterparts at Pakistan and South Africa.

"They definitely know it will be on the agenda. The right place, right time and right conditions, we're going to see more Test cricket played in the evening."

Australia beat New Zealand by three wickets in the day-night Test almost two months ago.
