The first Test between India and Bangladesh starts on Wednesday.
Bangladesh team won the ODI series between the two teams by 2-1.
However, due to injury, Rohit Sharma did not appear in the first Test. Bumrah, Shami and Jadeja also missed the Test series due to injuries. Thus K.L. Rahul has been appointed as the captain of the Indian team. Unadgad, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Chelarab Kumar and Navdeep Saini have been included in the Indian squad.
In this case, KL told reporters about the Test series. Rahul said:
We need to qualify for the finals of the Test Championship. So we have to play aggressively. What England are currently playing in Test cricket is not a reckless game. They play in a style that they have created for themselves. Players are encouraged to play accordingly. Cricket is changing. This is not how it should be played. England-Pakistan Test series is interesting. It’s good to see a Test scoring fast runs. They play without fear. Similarly we cannot play. Let’s adapt some of their plans. Test cricket should be played according to the environment.
Rohit Sharma is an important player for us. I hope he recovers from his injury soon and plays in the 2nd Test. You ask about Pujara’s selection as vice-captain. I don’t know how vice-captain is selected. There will be no change in the team due to this. He said everyone in the team knows his responsibilities.
