Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has invited his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina to watch the Bangladesh-India Test match in Kolkata.

Modi sent the letter on Wednesday (Nov 13), Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said on Thursday (Nov 14).

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Indian Home Minister Amit Shah and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee are likely to watch India's first-ever Day-Night Test together after ringing the customary Eden Bell to start the proceedings on November 22.

As per the schedule, Hasina will be on a one-day visit and will watch the match for some time after ringing the Bell. She will once again come back during closing time at 8 pm when the Cricket Association of Bengal will present a grand felicitation.

Hasina will leave on the same day after the felicitation.

A brainchild of the newly-elected BCCI President and former India captain Sourav Ganguly, India's first Day/Night Test is set to be a full house in the first three days.
