Chennai, known for its cricket-loving fans and historic grounds, will host the opening Test, with both teams eager to make a strong impression. Following the Chennai fixture, the series will shift to Kanpur, where the second Test is scheduled to begin on September 27.
India recently announced their squad for the first Test against Bangladesh and it will be a full power line-up taking on their neighbouring side. Their team will feature the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant .This will be India's first Test series since the five-match clash against England earlier this year.
The series will be crucial for the hosts in order to prepare for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India's premium pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be in action for the first time since the historic T20 World Cup 2024 triumph. This series will also be India's first Test series following Gautam Gambhir's appointment as the new Indian head coach.
