"Don't Talk About Pakistan": Bangladesh Star Litton Das Urges Reporters Ahead Of India Tests

Das admitted that the India assignment will be a challenging one for his team, considering Rohit Sharma's men would be playing at home.

"When we play India at their home, they are always the better side. I wouldn't say it will be extremely challenging or very easy. They are a very good team in their own conditions. If you look at the rankings, they are so high up. So I think it will be a challenging series for us," he said.

"India is a big team and the ball will also change," Litton observed. "We rarely play with that ball. It
