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. The exact dates for the New Zealand series are yet to be revealed, but cricket enthusiasts can expect another high-voltage encounter.
This home season holds immense significance for India as they prepare for the prestigious ICC Champions Trophy in 2025. These matches will be a crucial platform for the team to fine-tune their strategies and identify their strongest playing XI.
Both Bangladesh and New Zealand are formidable opponents, and the upcoming series will undoubtedly be a stern test for the Indian team. The familiar spin-friendly conditions in India are expected to favor the hosts, but both Bangladesh and New Zealand possess talented batting lineups capable of putting up a fight.
With the cricketing calendar heating up, fans can gear up for an exciting few months of Test cricket as India takes on these two cricketing powerhouses.
