Prime Ministers of India and Bangladesh are likely to attend the Test match between them in Kolkata. The game is scheduled to be played from November 22 to 26. PM Narendra Modi and Sheikh Hasina have been invited by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) to witness the Test between two neighboring sides. 

As per IANS, both PM would be there for Bangladesh, and India's first-ever Test match together at Kolkata. Official confirmation has not been made till now. We have seen India PM Manmohan Singh and Pakistan counterpart Yousaf Raza Gilani in the past attending the high voltage game between them in World Cup 2011 at Mohali.

Bangladesh has become a good competitor of India in recent times, especially in white-ball cricket. They have often come close to defeating the men in blue but have fell inches short.
