Even if his visa points are sorted, he’ll arrive solely after the Test begins.

Meanwhile, KL Rahul’s tactical acumen will likely be examined alongside along with his batting prowess when a depleted Indian staff clashes with a tough Bangladesh within the high-stakes two-match collection, the results of which can have an effect on India’s probabilities for the World Test Championship last qualification. India are presently fourth within the WTC desk behind Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka. The solely manner of qualifying for the ultimate in June is to straightaway win each the Tests in opposition to Bangladesh after which all 4 at residence in opposition to Pat Cummins’ Australia to remove any ifs and buts.

The journey begins on the Zahoor Ahmed Stadium, which has historically favoured the batters but in addition presents some flip in direction of the enterprise finish of the match.

The guests will begin as overwhelming favourites in Test format, through which the Bangladesh is but to beat India however the absence of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja might harm the facet.

Jadeja’s absence on these form of tracks all the time places Indian staff on the back-foot particularly when the opposition staff is batting within the third innings or fourth innings.

Jadeja-Ashwin duo, at the least in opposition to lesser Test nations on sub-continental tracks could possibly be deadly however Axar Patel has carried out his onerous yards over the previous two seasons because the second selection left-arm spinner.

As many as 10 Indian gamers, if all are match, choose themselves within the taking part in XI and a very powerful name that the 2 Rahuls — skipper KL and head coach Dravid — must make is concerning the fifth specialist bowler — a 3rd pacer or a 3rd spinner.

Whether India will subject a 3rd selection specialist spinner in wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav or sluggish left-arm orthodox Saurabh Kumar is there to be seen.
