Bangladesh Cricket Board, yesterday confirmed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India has requested them to play a Day-Night Test during the upcoming India tour. BCB Chief Executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury said, at first they have to take the consent of the players and members of the team management about it. It is totally a technical matter and they have to consider that there is preparation required to play a Test with a pink ball.
If BCB replies positively, the Second Test at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens would most likely be the Day-Night Test, beginning from 22nd of November. Bangladesh’s tour will begin with a three-match Twenty20 series, starting from 3rd of November in New Delhi.
