The Indian national cricket team visited Bangladesh in November 2000 to take part in the inaugural Test match played by the Bangladesh national cricket team,[2] [3] which India won by nine wickets. The tour consisted of the one-off Test match only.[4] Bangladesh's Aminul Islam became the third batsman to make a century in their country's inaugural Test.[5] [6]

This was the first Test match played in present-day Bangladesh (previously East Pakistan) since Pakistan played against New Zealand in November 1969, just a few years before the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971.[7]
