India has named a strong squad for the 2-Test series against Bangladesh starting November 14. India and Bangladesh will play two Tests in Indore and Kolkata.
Shahbaz Nadeem, who made his Test debut in Ranchi and bowled brilliantly, was unlucky to miss out. He replaced an injured Kuldeep Yadav for the final match against South Africa but with Kuldeep fit to play again, he got back into the squad.
As assumed, there were no surprises in the India squad which varnished South Africa in a 3-Test series recently. Rohit Sharma, who scored 529 runs in his first series as Test opener, will once again open with Mayank Agarwal – Shubman Gill was named back-up opener.
