BCCI Announces Unchanged India Squad for 2nd Test vs Bangladesh
Chennai : The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced India’s squad for the second Test against Bangladesh, confirming that no changes have been made from the team that played in the first Test. The second match of the two-Test series is scheduled to be played in Kanpur starting on September 27, 2024. Despite some concerns regarding KL Rahul’s recent form after the first Test at Chepauk, the selection committee has decided to give him another opportunity, retaining him in the squad.
There has been speculation around whether Sarfaraz Khan, who has shown great potential in domestic cricket, would be included in the playing XI for the second Test. However, the selectors have opted for consistency, and Rahul’s inclusion signals the team’s faith in his ability to bounce back. Rohit Sharma will continue to lead the squad, with seasoned players like Virat Kohli, R Ashwin, and Jasprit Bumrah playing key roles as India aims to secure a clean sweep in the series.
India’s unchanged squad demonstrates the selectors’ confidence in the current team composition, which includes a strong batting lineup and a balanced bowling attack. With Rahul still in contention, the focus now shifts to the team dynamics ahead of the Kanpur Test. Cricket fans will be keen to see if any changes are made in the playing XI, particularly with players like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel waiting in the wings for a chance to prove their mettle.
India’s Squad for 2nd Test Against Bangladesh:
Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal
