At the moment, Bangladesh is on a tour of Pakistan for a two-match test series, which is serving as valuable preparation for their upcoming series against India. It is expected that Bangladesh will carry forward the same squad for the India tour, benefiting from the practice gained in Pakistan.

On the other hand, the Indian team has had an extended break following the Sri Lanka series. The team is gearing up to play a Test match after several months, with the Duleep Trophy set to commence on 5th September. The selection of the Indian squad will take place after the first match of all teams in the Duleep Trophy, under the supervision of the chief selector, Ajit Agarkar.

Probable India Test Squad for Bangladesh 2024

Rohit Sharma will lead the team as the captain of the Indian Test squad. The team’s top order will feature promising batters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, while the middle order will be fortified by the presence of key players such as Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and KL Rahul. Furthermore, it is anticipated that all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin will play crucial roles in the upcoming series.

In terms of the bowling attack, the return of veteran pacer Mohammed Shami to the test squad is notable. With the absence of the key bowler Jasprit Bumrah, Shami is expected to lead the pace attack, with support from Khaleel Ahmed and Mohammed Shiraj. Additionally, selectors may consider left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh for inclusion in the squad.

Given the prevailing moisture in the pitches during this rainy season, it is likely that the pitches for the test series might not offer much turn. Consequently, the selectors are expected to lean towards selecting pacers. However, if spinners are necessitated, the squad might include Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel.
