IND vs BAN 2024: After a break of a month, Team India are set to bout in an international match, and the Board Of Cricket Council of India (BCCI) have announced the Indian squad for the home test series today.
Bangladesh are set to travel to India for a two-game Test series against India. The first Test is set to commence right from 19th November.
A very good news for the Indian Cricket team and the fans that the “spidey” Rishabh Pant is back in the red ball in the international circuit. Along with him, KL Rahul is also available in the squad after a quite long time due to injuries.
After an extended and challenging rehabilitation, Pant made an impressive return in the IPL, scoring 446 runs in 13 matches, which earned him a spot in India’s successful T20 World Cup campaign. Following this, he played an ODI in Sri Lanka and participated in the opening match of the recently concluded Duleep Trophy.
Bengal pacer Akash Deep secured the position of the third seamer in the squad, joining Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. Akash, who made his Test debut against England in Ranchi earlier this year, delivered a strong performance for India A in the Duleep Trophy, taking nine wickets, including a five-wicket haul.
While Mukesh Kumar, who has three Test caps, was not selected, India included uncapped left-arm fast bowler Yash Dayal in the 16-man squad. Along with Mukesh, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, and KS Bharat were also omitted after their appearances in the series against England.
In the middle-order, India welcomed the return of KL Rahul, alongside Sarfaraz Khan, who impressed in his debut series against England with three 50-plus scores in six innings. Rahul missed most of India’s last red-ball series against England due to a quadriceps injury.
India has also retained their formidable spin quartet, comprising R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav. Let’s take a look at the Indian squad for IND vs BAN 2024:
