When you play cricket with a red ball, you get to know about many things. You cannot take Bangladesh lightly, they have excellent spin bowlers. Apart from this, the visiting team also has some excellent players who have been performing brilliantly for the team for a long time. This series will prove to be a good practice for India before the Australia tour.
