You have to beat Bangladesh first in their own patch. Not as easy as you may think. You could always do what Australia did and cancel for "security reasons". The way we play on the sub-continent it might have been a good call.



How the fuck does India get 13 Tests in a home season? The most England and Australia get is 6 Tests in a home season.


Money talks I suppose


Years ago they sent Bangladesh to Australia in the off season and played Tests in North Queensland and the Northern Territory. After embarrassingly easy results to Australia, that was never tried again.
