Tilak Verma Replaces Shivam Dubey
Star all-rounder and Mumbaikar Shivam Dubey is out of this series. Shivam has to miss this series due to a back injury. With Shivam out, this is a big blow for Team India. An all-rounder does the work of 2 players in a team, so it helps a lot in maintaining balance. But now that Shivam is gone, it will be challenging to fill his place. Yuva Tilak Verma has been included in the team in place of Shivam.
Tilak Verma has returned to the Indian team on this occasion. Tilak was out of the team for the past several months. Tilak had earlier got a chance in the series against Afghanistan in January 2024. After that, will Tilak get a place in the playing eleven against Bangladesh? Everyone’s attention is going to be on this.
