The Indian cricket team is set to welcome Bangladesh and New Zealand for a marquee Test series extravaganza later this year, as announced by the BCCI. The upcoming home season promises exciting contests, kicking off with a two-match series against Bangladesh in September.
The opening act will see India face Bangladesh at Chennai and Kanpur. This will be followed by a three-match Test series against New Zealand, with Bengaluru being the designated host city.
