Team India and Bangladesh will kickstart the two-match test series at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on 14th December 2022. The two sides will lock horns in the 1st test. Here is everything you need to know about IND vs BAN 1st test.

Needless to say, the entertaining ODI series was a major shock for the visitors. Despite being one of the most formidable sides in the world, India lost the three-match 50-over series 2-1 to Bangladesh. However, India made a solid comeback in the final game of the series, but it was too late to change the result.

Ahead of the test series, India has sustained a couple of injuries. Skipper Rohit Sharma is ruled out of the opening test, as he is nursing his finger dislocation injury. While veteran pacer Mohammad Shami is also unavailable for the series due to his bowling arm stress injury.

The Indian management has drafted in Abhimanyu Eshwaran as Rohit’s replacement in the first test. While Jaydev Unadkat and Navdeep Saini have been recalled to replace Mohd Shami.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, will look to translate their encouraging ODI performance to the tests as well. Although they will start underdogs to win the tournament, they are a strong force, especially on home turf.

The stakes would be very high for the Indian side as they are looking to seal a spot in the ICC World Test Championship 2023 Final. India needs to win both test matches against Bangladesh in order to remain in the WTC final hunt.

IND vs BAN 1st Test Pitch Report:

As the match is being played in the sub-continent, spin bowling would be the key for both teams. It would come into play in the latter stages of the game. The surface will be good for batting in the initial few days but will start deteriorating and begin to slow down. The average first innings score is a bit on the higher side.
