# Indian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2022–23

The Indian cricket team toured Bangladesh to play two Tests and three One Day Internationals (ODIs) in December 2022. The Test series formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship. On 20 October 2022 Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the fixture. However, on 23 November, the venue of the third ODI was shifted from Mirpur to Chittagong due to political reasons.
