India skipper Virat Kohli & vice captain Ajinkya Rahane were the first to reach Kolkata on Tuesday morning ahead of India’s first ever Day/Night Test which is set to begin from November 22.
The duo reached approximately 9.40am today, whereas the rest of the squad will arrive in batches later in the afternoon.
Giving out the arrival itinerary of the teams, he said Rohit Sharma and pacer Mohammed Shami would be the last to join the squad on Wednesday.
“Ishant Sharma is slated to arrive Tuesday night, while other members of the squad along with the full Bangladeshi contingent are scheduled to arrive together in the afternoon,” he said.
However there is no scheduled practice for Tuesday.
“But you never know if the captain wants to have a feel of the stadium, he might just drop in,” he said.
India had taken a 1-0 lead in the two-match series after beating Bangladesh by an innings and 130 runs inside three days and they will look to seal their 12th successive home series victory in the Eden pink ball Test.
Both teams will play their first ever day/night Test.
