IND vs BAN 2ND TEST: The second Test is to be played between India and Bangladesh in Mirpur from 22 December. Bad news has come out for the team. Rohit Sharma is already out of the series against Bangladesh after being injured while fielding in the ODI match. Another fast bowler has been dropped from the team. He had to be ruled out of the series due to an abdominal muscle strain. Rohit suffered a thumb injury in the second ODI against Bangladesh, due to which he had to come to Mumbai for treatment.


Many challenges are emerging in front of the Indian team playing the Test series against Bangladesh. The second and last Test match between India and Bangladesh will be held on 22 December. Rohit Sharma will not be able to participate in the second test match as well due to not fully recovering from the injury. Now, this official information has come out from the BCCI that Rohit will not be a part of the team in the second Test and only KL Rahul will be the captain. At the same time, Navdeep Saini is also out of the second test. His abdominal muscles have become stretched. He will return to the National Cricket Academy.


Rohit Sharma is recovering from his injury. Earlier it was decided to include him in the second Test match. But considering the upcoming series, the Indian team management does not want to take any risk with him. Rohit is under the supervision of the BCCI medical team and it is believed that Rohit’s injury needs some more time to heal completely before he can play. The Indian captain could bat and field with full vigor. He will continue his rehabilitation.

India has to play a Test series at home from Australia in February-March. In such a situation, Physio does not want to show haste regarding Rohit’s return to the field. The Indian team management does not want to repeat the mistake it made regarding Jasprit Bumrah during the T20 World Cup. During that time the Indian team had to bear the brunt of it.


India’s squad for the second Test against Bangladesh – KL Rahul (c), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), KS Bharat (wk), R Ashwin, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Mohammad Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Saurabh Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat.
