The Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur will stage the tri-series and the second Test; the first will be held in Chittagong. India last toured the country in 2007, after the World Cup, and this assignment follows their home series against Sri Lanka.The tri-series starts on January 4 and the tour concludes on January 29. No warm-up games have yet been scheduled.This will be India’s fourth tour of the country, but they’ve never hosted Bangladesh for a Test or a bilateral ODI series. Upon becoming a Test-playing nation, Bangladesh played their first Test against India in Dhaka, losing by nine wickets.
