List of India’s Squad against Bangladesh Series: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced its team for the first Test against Bangladesh starting from September 19.
The return of wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant in this team has caught everyone’s attention. After almost 20 months of injury comeback, Pant is once again going to play for India in Test cricket.
Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team in the Test series. Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah are the other two Indians in the squad. At the same time, two young fast bowlers Yash Dayal and Akash Deep have got a place in the Indian team for the first time.
However, Mohammed Shami did not make it to the squad this time, which according to chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar, was keen on making a comeback in the first Test against Bangladesh.
Rishabh Pant had met with a road accident while playing against Bangladesh in December 2022. After this accident, he was out of cricket for a long time. He made a comeback during the IPL this year and is now making a comeback in Test cricket as well.
Experts believe that Pant’s return can prove to be a strength for the Indian team, as both his batting and wicketkeeping are important for the team.
With the announcement of the team, it has also become clear that India’s long Test season will start against Bangladesh on September 19 in Chennai. The second Test of this series will be played at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27 to October 1.
