The Indian cricket team will travel to Bangladesh in December this year, where they are scheduled to play three ODIs and two Tests. An official statement was released by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), which read: "The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the itinerary for India's tour later this year which includes three one-day internationals and two Test matches of the ICC World Test Championship cycle 2."
This will be India's first tour to the neighbouring nation since 2015 and it will get underway with the white-ball format at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka. The Test will be held at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram, following which the two sides will travel back to the capital for the final match of the tour.
BCB President Nazmul Hassan, said this will be a most anticipated meeting of the subcontinent's cricketing rivals: "The Bangladesh-India matches in recent history have given us some epic contests and fans from both countries are eagerly waiting for another memorable series. I thank the Board of Control for Cricket in India for working closely with the BCB in confirming the schedule. We look forward to welcoming the Indian team to Bangladesh."
