Ind vs Ban: Due to the ongoing protests in Kanpur, there have been speculations over the upcoming Test between India- Bangladesh . While the first Test starts on September 19 at Chennai, there are question marks over the second game that is scheduled to take place at the Green Park stadium. But, the good news is that despite the unrest, the game will take place as scheduled. A BCCI source confirmed this to a media outlet. The source revealed that the situation is being monitored closely.

ABOUT THE VENUE
The last time the stadium hosted an international Test match was back in 2021 when New Zealand came to India. That game ended in a draw but it had some thrilling moments. It is traditionally a typical Indian strip that helps a batter and spinners come into play from the fourth day onwards. The second Test between India and Bangladesh starts from September 27. It is expected to be a close contest as Bangladesh is a team that is high-on-confidence after their win over Pakistan recently.
