India’s cricket team has assembled in Chennai for the upcoming two-Test series against Bangladesh, starting on September 19th. Notably, Jasprit Bumrah makes his international return following India’s T20 World Cup victory.
The series marks the beginning of a busy Test schedule for India, with a three-match series against New Zealand and the crucial Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia to follow. This will also be Gautam Gambhir’s first assignment as India’s Test coach. India currently leads the World Test Championships (WTC) points table, and Gambhir will be looking for a strong performance to secure valuable points.
Bangladesh enters the series with newfound confidence after a historic 2-0 clean sweep against Pakistan. The victory propelled Bangladesh to fourth place in the WTC standings.
The first Test is set to take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, while the second Test will be played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur starting September 27th.
