Bangladesh will be visiting India next month. The Test series between India and Bangladesh will start on September 19. When the Indian team is announced, four experienced players, who were out of the team for some time, might make a comeback.

Team India is currently resting after the recent series in Sri Lanka under new head coach Gautam Gambhir. India will directly play the Test series against Bangladesh, starting on September 19. As the series approaches, the Indian team will be announced. Four players are expected to return to the Test team for this series: Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, R. Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja.

4 Players Returning:

• Jasprit Bumrah, R. Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja last played a Test match in March this year.
• Mohammed Shami played his last Test match in June of last year. If he is selected for the Bangladesh series, he will be playing a Test match after 15 months.

Shami to Play Test After 15 Months!
Mohammed Shami has been away from Team India due to injury. Not just in Test cricket, but by the time the Bangladesh series starts, Shami would not have played any white-ball cricket matches for 10 months. The good news is that Shami has now started bowling in the nets. Seeing his practice, India’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar mentioned that if everything goes well, Shami could play in the Test series against Bangladesh.

Ashwin-Bumrah-Jadeja’s Comeback:

• R. Ashwin will only play in red-ball cricket (Test matches). After playing the home series against England in March, he will now be seen playing the Test series against Bangladesh.
• Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja played the Test series against England in March this year and were also part of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup. Both were rested for the white-ball series against Sri Lanka. Now, it is expected that both players will return to the Indian team for the Test series against Bangladesh.

Important for WTC Final:
The Test series against Bangladesh is important for securing a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. The return of Shami, Bumrah, Ashwin, and Jadeja will be crucial for India.
