The Board of Control for Cricket in Indian (BCCI) has announced a strong squad for both Test and ODI series against Bangladesh. Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has returned to the Test squad, captained by Virat Kohli.
Team India will play a one-off Test against Bangladesh in Fatullah, starting June 10, while three ODIs will be played in Mirpur on June 18, 21 and 24.
The selectors have kept the core of the squad intact, with Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara are all included in the team. Opener KL Rahul, Karn Sharma, Varun Aaron and Umesh Yadav are all part of the 15-member team.
Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, however, has been left out of the Test team, but he is part of the 15-member ODI squad. Mohammed Shami is also not included as he is nursing an injury sustained in the World Cup.
MS Dhoni, meanwhile, will lead the ODI squad in the three-match series, with the squad featuring no major exclusions. Dhawal Kulkarni, however, has come in place of Shami.
