Eden Garden is all set to host India’s first day-night Test as India will take on Bangladesh in the second match of the two-Test series which will start from November 22, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly aid to the news agency PTI. On Tuesday, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) gave their nod for the day-night Test. Earlier Ganguly said Virat Kohli is ready to play.

“The BCB has confirmed and we are having a pink-ball Test. It’s a good development. Test cricket needs this push. Me and my team were bent on it and thanks to Virat (Kohli) also, he agreed,” Ganguly told PTI.

“We think it’s a great opportunity. I don’t think India has played a pink ball Test before. It’s a massive occasion at Eden Gardens against one of the best teams in the world,” Bangladesh coach Domingo said. “We are looking forward to that challenge. There are some challenges as we will not have a lot of time to prepare but it’s same for India. I don’t think they have had a day-night Test match. So it will be same for both teams. Since it’s pink ball, both teams will be close to each other. Sometime change is the best.”

On Monday, Ganguly had shared that they want to felicitate the country’s Olympic heroes as well.

“We want to invite and have plans to felicitate Mary Kom, (PV) Sindhu and all (great Olympians). We are just waiting for the BCB’s confirmation at the moment. There are also plans to bring in school children, providing them free passes for the game,” Ganguly told PTI. “I want the Eden (day-night) to be an annual affair,” the president said.

In November 2015, the first-ever day-night Test match was played between Australia and New Zealand at the Adelaide Oval.
