Bangladesh’s tour of India has been an entertaining one so far, kicking off with an engrossing opening T20 series which saw the hosts perform a comeback to win 2-1. The attention now turns to the red ball game and a two-Test series in Indore and Kolkata. You can see all the action, no matter where you are in the worl, by following our India vs Bangladesh Test series live stream guide.
India vs Bangladesh – where and when
The dates, times and venues for the two-test series are as follows:
1st Test Holkar Stadium, Indore – November 14–18
2nd Test Eden Gardens, Kolkata – November 22–26
Each match starts at 9.30am local time. So that’s an early 4am GMT start for folk tuning in from the UK.
India are in vintage form across all formats of cricket right now, and seem deadly focused on the new Test Championship. They’ll be hoping to follow up two wins over the West Indies and a trio of victories over South Africa.
With Virat Kohli’s men all set to field a strong line up, they’ll be expected to maintain their run against Bangladesh.
The Tigers gave a good account of themselves in the T20 series, but are clearly missing the presence of their banned star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan.
