Ganguly further said the SG pink ball is different from kookaburra with a prominent seam, an indication that spinners will also have some role to play.

Meanwhile, the Cricket Association of Bengal has mega plans to make the historic occasion even more special, as the state body invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee and Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to grace the historic moment with their presence at Eden Gardens.

While around 10000 online tickets for the historic Test match India and Bangladesh sold out, the counter sale for the remainder of the tickets is likely to start from Friday, November 15. Ganguly signed off by saying, “It will be a full house.”
