IND vs BAN weather update: Chattogram weather report between December 14-18 for 1st India vs Bangladesh Test
An uninterrupted game awaits fans, as the weather forecast for the upcoming IND vs BAN Test match in Chattogram has a zero chance of precipitation.
After a surprising defeat in the ODI series, Team India will look to turn things around when they lock horns with Bangladesh in a two-match Test series. Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will host the first match, starting on Wednesday, December 14.
The visitors will be without their regular skipper Rohit Sharma, who suffered a thumb injury in the second ODI, and has been advised to rest. KL Rahul will lead the side in his absence, while Test veteran Cheteshwar Pujara has been named as his deputy.
Abhimanyu Easwaran has been named as his replacement. However, he is unlikely to be included in the playing XI. Shubman Gill is likely to open with Rahul.

India will also miss the services of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Ravindra Jadeja, who have all been ruled out with injuries. The onus will be on Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav to lead the visitors' bowling unit.
The upcoming two matches hold immense significance for India in terms of their qualification for the World Test Championship final. Two wins out of as many games will keep them in the fray for a final berth.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, will miss opener Tamim Iqbal due to injury. Despite his absence, the Bangla Tigers are a force to be reckoned with on home soil. The hosts will look to put their best feet forward and spoil India's party.
