THE Tigers will be touring India for one test match and it will be interesting to see how they fare there. India is a very strong side in its own backyard and so Bangladesh should be prepared to play a tough match. This lone test match will start on February 9, but before that Bangladesh will play a 2-day practice match against the Indian 'A' side. This is the first tour of India by Bangladesh. The test match will be held on Rajib Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. It is known as a batting friendly wicket. It is also one of the best stadiums of India. The spinners will be at the front line if we consider its history.
The cricket loving people of Bangladesh are now waiting for the tour to start. I hope the Tigers will play their best cricket and the result of the game will mostly depend on how Bangladeshi batsmen cope with the Indian spinners who are very lethal in their conditions. The upcoming India- Bangladesh test is surely going to be an exciting affair for the cricket loving people in this country.
