Hyderabad Cricket Association to revive old tradition for India-Bangladesh Test

The Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) would revive an old tradition and bring out a souvenir to commemorate the historical occasion of India and Bangladesh playing the first ever Test in India.

The publication of the souvenir is revival of an old tradition of publishing a souvenir whenever an international match was allotted to HCA.

“The present Executive Committee of the Hyderabad Cricket Association decided to revive its old tradition and in association with the Veterans Cricket Association of Hyderabad, is bringing out a Souvenir/Brochure to commemorate this historical event when the first ever Test Match between India and Bangladesh in India would be organised by the Hyderabad Cricket Association,” the HCA said in a release.

The practice of publishing a souvenir began when the first Commonwealth Cricket Team visited India and HCA organised a match.

“Ever since the First Commonwealth Cricket Team visited India and for the first time that the Hyderabad Cricket Association organised the match against the visiting team, the match being played at the Secunderabad Gymkhana Grounds, it had been a practice to publish a Souvenir/Brochure to commemorate the event,” the release said.

The practice was followed till early nineties.

“This was followed till early nineties – that whenever an International Team visited India, the BCCI would allot a match to Hyderabad and the Hyderabad Cricket Association would bring out a Souvenir to mark the occasion,” it said.

The tradition had been discontinued for the past couple of decades though Hyderabad hosted several international matches.

The proposed Brochure, compiled, designed and produced by the former HCA Secretary and Manager of the 1983 World Cup winning Indian Team, P.R. Man Singh, would contain articles written by legendary cricketers like Abbas Ali Baig, Mohinder Amarnath, V.V.S. Laxman, S. Venkataraghavan, Syed Kirmani, Saad Bin Jung and other well known writers – R. Mohan, Harsha Bhogle, Suresh Menon.

The brochure would also have cartoons and the statistics of the matches played between the two neighbouring countries, the release added.

Bangladesh will be a good match for India: Habibul Bashar

To say that Bangladesh face an uphill task against India in their one-off Test at Hyderabad from February 9 will be an understatement. Bangladesh are currently ranked 9th in the ICC Test rankings while India sit pretty at the top. Mushfiqur Rahim's team will feature in a Test here for the first time, and interestingly , it's been over six years since a subcontinent team has faced-off against India in the longest format of the game. The last time a team from the sub-continent toured India for a Test was in 2009 when Sri Lanka were here for a three-match series.

Over the years, Bangladesh-India have played some memorable matches in the shorter formats. Former skipper and current selector Habibul Bashar believes the trend will continue in the upcoming Test as well. "The passion for cricket in Bangladesh has always been huge.The same is the case with India as well. I am hoping that is what will happen in Hyderabad as well. I think we (both the teams) should play more cricket as there is a lot of viewer interest," Bashar told TOI.

Kayes ruled out of one-off India Test

Imrul Kayes, the Bangladesh opener, has been ruled out of the one-off Test against India, which starts on Thursday (February 9) in Hyderabad. The 30-year old batsman injured his right thigh while fielding on the final day of the two-day practice match against India A on Monday.

According to Rabeed Imam, the Bangladesh Cricket Board media manager, it is a recurrence of the same injury that ruled Imrul out of the second Test against New Zealand in Christchurch last month.

Uncapped middle-order batsman Mosaddek Hossain has been called in as a replacement for Imrul. Soumya Sarkar, who opened in place of the injured Imrul in Christchurch, is likely to open the batting against India as well.

Squad: Mushfiqur Rahim (capt & wk), Tamim Iqbal, Sabbir Rahman, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Mehedi Hasan, Taijul Islam, Kamrul Islam Rabbi, Soumya Sarkar, Taskin Ahmed, Subashis Roy, Liton Das (wk), Mominul Haque, Shafiul Islam, Mosaddek Hossain
