Dhaka, June 9 (IBNS): India and Bangladesh will face in the one-match Test series here from Wednesday.

Virat Kohli will captain the ODI side.

This will be second series India will play under his captaincy.

The Indian team reached Dhaka on Monday.

Speaking about the pitch, Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha  was quoted as saying by bdnews24.com: "The wicket is hard to predict because I haven’t seen such track before. The surface of the wicket has a lot of trimmed grass - it's unnatural. Because either a wicket has a lot of grass or none at all.”

Skipper Mushfiqur Rahim was quoted as saying by the website: "Trimmed grass embedded on the surface may be seen in the wickets prepared for one-dayers or T20s, but (I’ve) never seen it in Tests. I have no idea how it will behave in five days. It’s new for me as well."
