IND vs BAN: India are set to face off against Bangladesh in a 3-match ODI series followed by a 2-match test series. However, the ODI series scheduled to be played in Bangladesh will not be a part of the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup Super League 2019-23 cycle. The 1st ODI will start on December 4th 2022. 

With the World Cup 2023 nearing, this series will act as an ideal opportunity for both teams to cement their combinations. While the regulars will come back to Bangladesh for team India after resting for the New Zealand tour, all eyes would be on which of the non-regulars are given a permanent chance in the ODI team.
