Mamata to meet Hasina today, watch D/N Test together

Kolkata: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will hold a meeting with Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at a city hotel to discuss various bilateral issues after the first pink ball Day/Night Test at Eden Gardens on Friday.

The agenda of the meeting has not, however, been officially confirmed by any of the state government sources. It is presumed that a number of bilateral issues including the strengthening of trade ties between the two countries would find place.

Both the leaders are expected to watch the match for some time together from the President's box at BC Roy Club House.

The Bangladesh Prime Minister is expected to take a morning flight to Kolkata on Friday and will inaugurate the match along with the Chief Minister.

It may be mentioned here that this is the first time that Hasina will be attending a cricket match at Eden Gardens.

It has been learnt that Hasina called up Banerjee on Thursday, requesting her to attend the cricket match. The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) had earlier requested the Chief Minister to take part in the inaugural Day/Night Test between Bangladesh and India.
