Modi and Sheikh Hasina invited for India vs Bangladesh Kolkata Test

October 17, 2019 11:37

If all goes as per plan, the Kolkata Test between India and Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens could see the Prime Ministers of the two countries in attendance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina have been invited for the Test which will be played from November 22 to 26.

Invites have been sent by the Cricket Association of Bengal to both the prime ministers to grace the historic occasion when Bangladesh play their first Test at the historic ground in the City of Joy.

Interestingly, the last time a cricket match saw such a high-profile presence was the semi-final of the 2011 World Cup in Mohali when India played Pakistan and the game was closely watched by then India Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistan counterpart Yousaf Raza Gilani among other delegates from both the countries.
