The 16-player Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) list for the upcoming two-match Test series against the Indian cricket team has been shared. The Bangladesh cricket team is going to play India after a memorable series win over Pakistan.
They will be hoping for a similar result against the team led by Rohit Sharma. One change has been made to their team from Pakistan. Jaker Ali, who was also on Bangladesh’s T20 World Cup 2024 team, has been added to the team and could make his Test debut. Shoriful Islam was not included in the team for this series.
In other news, India just named their team for the first Test against Bangladesh. It will be a full power lineup going up against their neighboring team. You can expect to see Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant on their team.
It has been five months since India’s last Test series, which they played against England. The match is very important for the hosts to get ready for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy that is coming up.
India’s best fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, will play for the first time since their historic win at the T20 World Cup in 2024. Another thing is that this will be India’s first Test series since Gautam Gambhir was named head coach.
On the first few days of his job, things were both good and bad. While India won the T20I series, the Men in Blue lost an embarrassing 50-over series to the Lankan Lions. Gambhir would want to get off to a good start with the red ball.
