Test match at Dharamsala would be great to watch. Is it the first test match to be held there? 

Yes. 6 new grounds get the test status this season.

Dunno if that is good or bad... Test cricket isn't appreciated beyond Tier 1 centers..

Don't want to sound skeptical, but I still remember poor crowd turn out pissed off BCCI and players when an England Test happened in Nagpur. Really doubt if Test cricket will be well received in centers like Rajkot and Ranchi.

Good point. But you will never know how the cities will receive test cricket until they are tried.

Yeah you need to try and see if it works. I am sure ranchi will have a good attention because the weather in feb is perfect for test match cricket.

Even in tier 1 centers the attendance for tests in the last few years seems pretty bad. It's fun watching highlights from years ago.....india Pak series in the late 90s, the famous india Aus test series 2001....amazing crowds.

What happened to the D/N test with NZ?

Exactly what I was wondering. But think they will first try out D/N test in Dulleep Trophy and then take it from there.
