Kolkata, Nov 7: The Sourav Ganguly-led BCCI, which is organising India's first ever Day-Night Test at the Eden Gardens from November 22, is keen to get Magnus Carlsen and Viswanathan Anand to ring the bell to signal the start of play at the historic ground when India and Bangladesh face-off in the second Test of the two-match series.

Speaking to IANS, a senior Cricket Association of Bengal official said that since the Grand Chess Tour will be on in the City of Joy, it would be a beautiful occasion to get the duo of Carlsen and Anand to ring the bell. But he went on to add that logistics is what needs to be worked out.
