The Bangladesh cricket team has departed for their much-anticipated tour of India, where they are set to play a two-match Test series followed by three T20Is.

With an unbroken focus, Bangladesh are preparing to create history on this tour. Although India hold an unbeaten record against Bangladesh in Test cricket, having won 11 out of 13 matches with the remaining two drawn, the visitors are in high spirits. Following their 2-0 clean sweep against Pakistan, Bangladesh are carrying strong momentum and hopes to break their winless streak against India.
The Test series begins on September 19th at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, with the second and final Test scheduled for September 27th in Kanpur. After the Test series, Bangladesh will gear up for a three-match T20I series starting on October 6th in Gwalior, with subsequent matches in Delhi (October 9th) and Hyderabad (October 12th).
