India\u2019s first-ever Day-Night Test here against Bangladesh is expected to begin at least an hour early than the usual 2.30 pm start, Cricket Association of Bengal secretary Avishek Dalmiya said here on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CAB is also trying its best to make it a full house in the 68,000-capacity stadium on all the five days by offering a daily ticket starting as low as Rs 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Less than a week after becoming BCCI president, the Sourav Ganguly-led board on Tuesday made its biggest announcement when India and Bangladesh mutually agreed to play their first ever Day-Night Test at Eden Gardens from November 22 to 26, the second game of a two-match series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hosts CAB said they would seek BCCI\u2019s clearance for a 1pm or 1.30 pm start keeping in mind of the dew factor and the spectators\u2019 convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will send the tickets for printing as we get the timing confirmation from BCCI and broadcasters. We are planning to bring in school children from the districts and local schools and we don\u2019t want any inconvenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTicket denominations will be of Rs 50, 100, 150 on daily basis. We will try our best to pull in as much crowd as possible. We hope it will be a success,\u201d Dalmiya added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
