Former England Captain Nasser Hussain is unhappy with the bad light regulations which affects a lot of Test matches. He wants the International Cricket Council (ICC) to review its regulations.
The ICC has given the full authority of the decision to the umpires who decide whether to carry on with the game or halt the play. Hussain’s opinion came after Day 1 of the Test between England and West Indies was halted due to poor light.

“It’s one thing you have to try and explain to somebody new to the game. You spend a lot of money on lights, turn the lights on and go off for light. On this occasion, they’ve gone off for rain. It is something eventually that I’d like the ICC to change really,” Hussain said on Sky Sports Cricket.
“They might say ‘You’re a retired player’ and (talk about) stats, but look at that, the lights are on. If it wasn’t raining now, maybe the players could buy into the fact that the game needs to keep selling itself and if you can stay on, do stay on.”
Time and again, bad light rules have come under criticism with two instances being the India vs Australia series in 2018-19 and the Ashes in 2013.
