Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been invited for the Kolkata Test between Bangladesh and India by Sourav Ganguly, Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) chief and president-elect of the BCCI, according to media reports.

Citing sources, IANS reported that the former Indian captain has also invited Narendra Modi for Test at the Eden Gardens from Nov 22 to 26.

Invites have been sent by the CAB to both the premiers to grace the historic occasion when Bangladesh play their first Test at the historic ground in the City of Joy. A confirmation is expected to come in soon, says the news agency.

“The association is known to take cricket celebration to the next level and even while hosting the India-Pakistan encounter in the 2016 World T20, it was Amitabh Bachchan who was invited to be a part of the monumental occasion as also sing the Indian national anthem. In fact, former Pakistan captain and current Prime Minister Imran Khan was also in attendance for the game,” reads the IANS report.
