Bangladesh have agreed a four-series deal that will see them play Test cricket in India for the first time in 2016.

Nazmul Hassan, president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, revealed the details of the agreement on Sunday.

"We have signed with India that they will visit us in 2014," Hassan said. "The next year, 2015, India will come to Bangladesh to play Tests.

"In August and September of 2016, Bangladesh will tour India to play Tests. In June 2020, India will come to play Tests and ODIs.

"Our main objective was to play more Test matches, and tour the big nations. We have confirmed these so far, because every country has a very tight schedule."

Bangladesh acquired Test status in 2000.
