Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB)has agreed
to play the second Test of the forthcoming series against India as a
day-night fixture.
This will be the first day-night Test match for both the countries and Eden Gardens will host the contest
Bangladesh’s tour of India will begin on 3rd November 2019. The two teams will first collide in a T20I series before turning to red-ball cricket.
The first of the two Tests will take place at the Holkar Stadium in Indore and then Kolkata will host the historic day-night Test match from 22nd November to 26th November. The start time for this day-night match will be 2 PM IST.
The theory of day-night Tests was proposed to revive Test cricket. Australia and New Zealand were the first two sides to play a day-night Test match as the Trans-Tasman rivals kicked off the pink ball-era in November 2015.
Till date 11 day-night Tests have taken place and, a majority of them have been played in Australia.
