BCB President Nazmul Hossain Papon had promised to bring best cricketers of world on board for occasion to make it a grand event. matches have been approved by International Cricket Council.

In past as well, such events have been celebrated. In 1993, Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) had organized much-hyped Hero Cup to celebrate its Diamond Jubilee while in 2004, BCCI had invited Pakistan to play a one-off ODI at Eden Gardens to celebrate its Platinum Jubilee. In 2018, Sri Lanka organized Nidahas Tri-Nation trophy to celebrate nation’s 70th independence anniversary.

Will BCCI return favour?

BCB had accepted BCCI’s request to play Day-Night Test, refore it is likely that BCCI might consider returning favour. However,  only potential roadblock to this development is fact that  Indian team will be playing final ODI of three-match series against South Afric in Kolkata on March 18.

If Dhoni does t make it to national squad, which is very likely, fans may just get lucky to witness him in an international fixture perhaps for one last time.
