The left-arm, Shoriful Islam, has been ruled out of the series as he is still recovering from the groin injuries.

After leading the Bangladesh side to a historic Test series win against Green Army, Najmul Hossain Shanto and his men have set their sights on creating a huge upset against Team India. Their win over Pakistan has bolstered the Bangladesh Tigers’ confidence. Meanwhile, the side has produced big upsets against Indians in the white-ball formats but has yet to beat them in the red-ball game.
Bangladesh side has historically showcased against Men in Blue, losing 11 out of the 13 matches, with two games ending in draws. On the other hand, Team India has been brute force at home, staying undefeated in their last 17 Test series. It’s no rocket science that Rohit Sharma and his men will commence the series as overwhelming favorites, but Najmul Hossain Shan would be no walkovers either this time.
Najmul Hossain Shanto (Captain), Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan, Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Kumer Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan, Nahid Rana, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, Syed Khaled Ahmed, Jaker Ali Anik
