India Squad for Bangladesh Test Series: India is going to host Bangladesh cricket team in the month of September, where 2 Tests and 3 T20 matches are to be played between these two teams. This tour will start from 19 September and will continue till 12 October. At this time there is more discussion about the Test team because the selectors will also keep an eye on the Duleep Trophy, which is starting from 5 September. Many current players of the Indian team will also be seen playing in the initial matches of this trophy. So let’s know how the Indian squad can look against Bangladesh?
According to a report by Inside Sport, the players of the Test team against Bangladesh have almost been decided. At present, discussions are going on only about 2-3 places. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar and his team will keep a close eye on the Duleep Trophy, only after that other places will be filled. It is certain that both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will play in the Test series. Now a new season is about to start and the team would like to adapt to red-ball cricket before the Australian tour.
Which players’ place is confirmed?
Apart from Test team captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli’s place seems certain. Shubman Gill, who scored 2 centuries and 2 fifties in the series against England this year, is also seen in the playing eleven. Yashasvi Jaiswal has almost confirmed his place by scoring 712 runs in the series against England. 2 wicketkeeper batsmen can play in the team in the form of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant.
The ball is expected to spin on Indian pitches, so the pair of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja can wreak havoc again. Kuldeep Yadav can be selected as the third spinner to support them. Mohammad Siraj has been a part of the Test team for a long time, but it is yet to be decided who will be the second fast bowler. Mohammad Shami is not making a comeback in the series against Bangladesh, on the other hand Jasprit Bumrah will not be a part of this series. In such a situation, the selectors will have options like Arshdeep Singh, Khalil Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar.
India’s probable playing XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar/Khalil Ahmed/Arshdeep Singh.
