08:35 Local Time, 02:35 GMT, 08:05 IST | 1st Test, Day 1: One of the newest entrants to Test cricket, Ireland don't play Tests regularly. Just 10 matches in 7 years is a testament to it. After losing their first 7 Tests, Ireland have now won three Tests on the bounce with two of them being away from home (in Zimbabwe and in UAE vs Afghanistan). They have an inexperienced side for this series - five uncapped players and just seven players from the squad that toured Bangladesh in 2023. Bangladesh, too, have played very little red-ball cricket this year. After drawing the home series against Zimbabwe (1-1), they went down 0-1 against Sri Lanka in the 2-match series. They've won just one of their last 8 Test series. Bangladesh have a solid bowling attack irrespective of the conditions and it's the batting that has let them down in the recent past. The Sylhet International Cricket Stadium has hosted four Tests and Bangladesh have a 1-3 Win-Loss record. Let's find out what's in store here. Toss and team updates coming up shortly...
