to 18, and the Cricket Association of Bengal announced on Sunday that the tickets will be up for sale from Monday noon.

The opening match of the two-Test series is expected to see a lively surface with a touch of grass early on, offering some assistance to pacers before spinners take charge as the game progresses.
With South Africa's potent pace attack and India's spin riches, the contest promises excitement. The fixture also compensates Eden Gardens after it missed hosting the IPL 2025 final due to weather disruptions earlier in the year.
