Keeping in mind an option to attract more crowds, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made the late change in schedule to hold the match from Thursday to Monday.

The Bangladesh team, currently touring New Zealand, will return home on January 26.

After a few days' rest, Mushfiqur Rahim and his men will leave for India on February 1.

Bangladesh have announced a 30-member provisional squad for the tour.

Young pacer Mustafizur Rahman may return to the Test side on that trip.
