Gautam Gambhir’s tenure as the new head coach of the Indian team has got off to a ‘serious’ start. He started his campaign with the India-Sri Lanka series.

That means, almost a year’s schedule of Team India has been decided and during this time India has to play a total of 16 Test matches. Team India has been on a break for a long time, but since then the team has faced one test after another. Team India’s next series will be played against Bangladesh. Two Test matches between the two countries will be played in India. The first Test will be played in Chennai from September 19 to 23, while the second Test will be played in Kanpur from September 27 to October 1.

The two countries will play three matches, with the first Test in Bengaluru from October 16-20, the second Test in Pune from October 24-28 and the final Test in Mumbai from November 1-5.
