Bangladesh named their squad for facing India in the two-match Test series starting on September 19 with batter Jaker Ali replacing pacer Shoriful Islam.
The visiting Bangladesh team were forced to make one change to the side which won the historic Test match series against Pakistan last month – replacing injured pacer Shoriful Islam with yet one more batter Jaker Ali to face India within both-match Test series starting place on September 19. Shoriful had suffered a groin injury within the first Test vs Pakistan, which Bangladesh won by 10 wickets and didn’t play within the 2d Test.
Taskin Ahmed, Nahid Rana, Hasan Mahmud and Khaled Ahmed make up Bangladesh’s p.c. attack in Shoriful’s absence against. Taskin shall be readily available best for the 2d Test, informed Bangladesh national selection panel chairman Gazi Ashraf Hossain.
“Now we have gotten selected five pacers mindful of the undeniable fact that Taskin Ahmed will best play the 2d Test. He hasn’t bowled in a Test since June last year and now we have determined to encompass him within the ‘A’ Team for the 2d four-dayer against Pakistan ‘A’ to get him into the rhythm for longer version matches. Also, a pair of the pacers may join the A Team for the one-day matches and therefore we needed backups. Our attack has variety with bowlers who can bowl fast and likewise swing the ball and I'm in general staring at for seeing them perform against world class batsmen,” a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) statement read.
The selection panel chairman added that the main focal point changed into on selecting the correct players for Test cricket. “The emphasis changed into on picking our best players for this version. Which is a well balanced squad. The likes of Mushfiqur (Rahim), Mominul (Haque) and Shakib (Al Hasan) have played 216 matches combined and there seriously shouldn't be any substitute for that sort of experience. Taijul (Islam) and Miraz (Mehidy Hasan) have been leading the spin department for a chronic term and have over 350 wickets between them. We also expect Shanto (Najmul Hossain), Litton (Kumer Das) and the opposite batsmen to step up because to be competitive against Pakistan, we can desire a team effort,” Hossain added.
Yet to play a Test and ODI, Jaker Ali has represented Bangladesh in 17 T20Is since making his debut at the Asian Games in 2023. He has played 49 first-class games, and averages forty one.forty seven with four centuries.
Opening batter Mahmudul Hasan Joy, who missed the Pakistan Tests caused by a groin niggle suffered one day of the four-day games between Pakistan A and Bangladesh A within the lead-up to the Test series, retains his place within the squad. On the opposite hand, Shadman Islam’s impressive showing within the first Test in Rawalpindi may per chance see him keep his spot at the end alongside Zakir Hasan.
