Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has called for six-day Test matches after nearly 60 overs were lost to light in the first Test against West Indies.
Pakistan won in four days in Lahore but Inzamam said: "It's time that we should start playing six-day Test matches in those cities where the sun sets early."
Last year in Pakistan, the mandated 90 overs were impossible in 20 successive days against England and India.
Promises to make a case to the world governing body were not followed up.
Shaharyar Khan, former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, last year suggested six-day Tests but the matter was never discussed officially by the International Cricket Council.
Only an hour's play was possible in the last session on all the four days of the first Test of Pakistan's domestic season in Lahore, which the hosts won by nine wickets on Tuesday.
Even though the start was moved 30 minutes earlier, extending the first session to 2 1/2 hours, there was not enough time to get the scheduled 90 overs.
"If we play a six-day Test match with 75-overs-a-day during the winter season, it won't put pressure on the teams and it will be good for cricket," Inzamam said.
"Unless the Test matches are result-oriented, it's difficult to pull crowds at stadiums." The second Test of the series begins in Inzamam's hometown Multan on Sunday, with the third starting in Karachi - a more southerly city where light should be less of a problem - on 27 November.
