Bangladesh just recently won their historic Test series against the hosts Pakistan after winning both the away Tests of the two-match Test series. However, Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das is only focussing on the upcoming big Test series against the hosts India. 

Bangladesh are ready to tour India for the two-match Test series before the three-match T20I series in the same tour. The Test series will be a part of the 2023-2025 ICC World Test Championship. 

Bangladesh just won the two-match Test series against the hosts Pakistan by 2-0. In that tour, Bangladesh recorded their first Test win against Pakistan before completing the series whitewash.

That is already in the past: Litton Das on their recent Test series successes in Pakistan

However, Litton Das isn’t interested in talking much about their Test successes in Pakistan. Rather, the 29-year-old is focussing on another crucial forthcoming Test series against the hosts India. 

On Tuesday (September 10), Das told the media at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, "We have played very well against Pakistan. That is already in the past. Obviously, very important (to leave the Pakistan series behind) and you (media) also need to help a bit. It would be better if you don't talk too much about the Pakistan series. There is a big challenging series ahead (against India). For me as a player, that is in the past (Pakistan Series). But we definitely gained confidence from that."

Das has admitted that India in India is always too difficult for the other visiting teams. 

The 29-year-old wicketkeeper-batter added, "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.

The SG ball is somewhat difficult: Litton Das

Meanwhile, Das also pointed out their big issue in India. He talked about their lack of usage and practice with the SG ball. 

Das said, "India is a big team and the ball will also change. We rarely play with that ball. It will be challenging. The players are working very hard.

Das continued, "As for preparation, we are facing the main bowlers as much as we can. The SG ball is somewhat difficult. It's tough to play with the Kookaburra when the ball is new, but it's easier to play once the ball is old. However, with the SG ball, playing with the new ball is somewhat easier, but playing with the old ball is tougher. We are practicing, let's see what happens."

Das feels that they need to improve the first session of Test cricket to achieve more successes in this format. 

Das claimed, "We need to focus on this. In Test cricket, you have to win sessions. Every session is important. Personally I feel we couldn't play our 100% in the first sessions. There is room for a big improvement here.”

The right-handed batter Litton Das is currently in great form with the bat. In both the Rawalpindi Test matches against the hosts Pakistan, Das performed strongly when the visitors were struggling. After scoring 56 runs in the first Test, Das scored an incredible 138-run in the second Test.
