“As a leading Test playing nation it is BCCI’s responsibility to give opportunity to every Test playing nation. India will host Bangladesh for a one-off Test in February next year, marking the neighbouring country’s first official trip here since claiming Test status in the year 2000. It is my pleasure to announce the historic one-off Test match against our neighbours – Bangladesh early next year. “India will play Bangladesh in a historic one-off Test match from February 08-12, 2017 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. The Test match will mark Bangladesh’s first official visit to India since attaining Test status in 2000,” BCCI Secretary Ajay Shirke said in a statement.
