In a Test series that begins on September 19, Team India will play Bangladesh at home.
The Indian team captain, Rohit Sharma, recently stated that the forthcoming Test series against Bangladesh is more than just a practice run for the much-awaited Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024–25 matchup with Australia. It’s worth noting that the show is scheduled to premiere in November.
To get the season off to a great start, Sharma underlined the significance of every game and the team’s optimism. The Indian cricket team will have an intense schedule starting with the two-Test series against Bangladesh and concluding with the BGT. The team will play 10 matches in total. The introductory remarks, however, focused on giving the current task priority.
No practice session; each match matters. No difference where we play. Our goal is to triumph—both in the series and this test. Keeping an eye on the present while avoiding the future. At the press conference held before the game, Rohit expressed his happiness at having all of the players back and starting the season well.
Using this little camp near Chennai was crucial: Rohit Sharma
A week before the first Test on September 19, Team India began a training camp in Chennai as part of their preparations for the forthcoming series. From the beginning of the camp, all of the important players—including the 37-year-old and legendary batsman Virat Kohli—have been actively involved. In addition, the skipper discussed a few players who took part in the Duleep Trophy and others who required this camp to acclimate themselves to the rhythms of Test cricket.
We took a rest. It is essential to have a camp. We enjoyed our time together on the field, bringing this back. It’s difficult. Duleep Trophy was played by guys who didn’t play much. We are well prepared for both this game and the future. The Indian skipper continued, “It was crucial to make good use of this small camp in Chennai.”
