It’s not often that the Indian cricket team gets a long break, but after winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, the Men in Blue had two quick tours to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. The last time they played was on July 7. Now, after a 41-day pause, Team India is ready to return to the field on September 19. India will host Bangladesh for two Test matches and three T20Is. The Test series will be a key part of the ongoing World Test Championship 2023-25.
This series holds great importance for both teams. India, who have not lost a home Test series since 2012, are known for their strong performance at home. Since that year, they have played 17 home Test series and haven’t lost a single one.
On the other hand, Bangladesh comes into the series with boosted confidence, having just completed a historic 2-0 win over Pakistan. This makes the upcoming matches even more exciting. The Test series will run from September 19 to October 1, followed by three T20Is from October 6 to October 12.
The Test matches will take place in Chennai and Kanpur, while the T20 games will be hosted in Gwalior, Delhi, and Hyderabad. The last time India and Bangladesh faced off in a Test match was in December 2022, which India won by three wickets.
In this article, you’ll find the expected squads, full schedule, records, head-to-head stats, and other key details about Bangladesh’s tour of India 2024.
