Bangladesh have named their squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against India, with Jaker Ali being the only change in their squad that faced Pakistan in a two-match Test series recently. Jaker Ali has replaced pacer Shoriful Islam in the squad.
Shoriful Islam is out of Bangladesh’s squad for the two Tests against India due to a groin injury sustained during the first Test against Pakistan. He didn’t participate in the second game against Pakistan because of injury.
Jaker Ali has yet to play a Test match as he has only appeared for Bangladesh in 17 T20Is. He hasn’t even played any ODIs so far for Bangladesh. Opening batter Mahmudul Hasan has retained his place.
Bangladesh squad: Najmul Hossain Shanto (capt), Shadman Islam, Zakir Hasan, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Jaker Ali, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana, Taijul Islam, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Nayeem Hasan, Khaled Ahmed
