Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 20 (ANI): Spinner Kuldeep Yadav can not wait for the "amazing experience" of playing in the day-night Test when both India and England lock horns with each other next week.
The four-match series currently stands level at 1-1 and now both teams face each other in the pink-ball Test, beginning February 24 at the Motera Stadium. The fourth Test of the series will also be played at the same venue.
Kuldeep on Saturday shared pictures of the Motera Stadium and hailed the staff who have been involved in building the "brilliant stadium".
"What a brilliant stadium @GCAMotera Great work done by everyone associated with building this facility. It will be an amazing experience to play here," Kuldeep tweeted.
On Friday, India all-rounder Hardik Pandya posted his picture with Motera Stadium in the background on social media and said it was a "surreal" experience to be at the world's largest cricket stadium.
"It feels surreal to be out here at the world's largest cricket stadium, Motera. Absolutely magnificent," Hardik said in a tweet.
For the upcoming day-night Test at Motera Stadium, both the Indian and England teams arrived in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

Apart from this, the selection committee has decided to not make any other change in the squad and every other player has been retained who was in the squad for the first two Tests.
