The first T20I match of India Vs Bangladesh, originally scheduled for December 6 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, has been moved to Gwalior. This change is part of a revised schedule announced by the BCCI for India’s home cricket season, which begins with a two-match Test series against Bangladesh starting September 19.
While the venues for the two Tests against Bangladesh and the three Tests against New Zealand remain unchanged, there have been minor adjustments to some of the white-ball fixtures involving Bangladesh and England.
India Vs Bangladesh Home Series
On August 13, 2024, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released the revised schedule for the upcoming 2024-25 home season of the Indian Senior Men’s Cricket Team.
The first T20I India Vs Bangladesh, initially set for October 6, 2024, in Dharamsala, will now be held in Gwalior. This change is due to ongoing renovations by the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association.
The Gwalior match will be the debut international game at the new Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, marking a significant event since the historic 2010 ODI where Sachin Tendulkar scored his first double century.
Additionally, the venues for the first two T20Is against England have been swapped. Chennai will now host the second T20I, while Kolkata will host the first T20I. The dates for these matches remain unchanged, with the first T20I scheduled for January 22, 2025, and the second T20I on January 25, 2025.
