The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced Team India for the first Test of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. The first Test between these two teams is starting from 19 September. On 8 September, BCCI announced India’s 16-member team.

Young fast bowler Yash Dayal has been included in the team. He has got a place in the Indian team for the first time. However, many people were surprised to see why experienced player Mohammad Shami has not been included in the Indian team for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh.

Let us tell you that due to injury, Mohammed Shami could not participate in the Indian Premier League 2024 and T20 World Cup 2024. He had to undergo surgery in the last week of February. Now the experienced fast bowler is fully fit and very soon he will be seen performing brilliantly again in international cricket. According to the report, BCCI does not want to rush into anything regarding Mohammed Shami. It wants the experienced player to get fit as soon as possible. There are also reports that Mohammed Shami will be seen playing in Bengal’s first match of Ranji Trophy 2024 on October 11.

Just a few weeks ago, Team India’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar had said that Mohammed Shami could be seen playing in the Test series against Bangladesh. Shami has also started practicing bowling in the nets at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru since the last week of July. However, the board wants Shami to be completely fit.

Mohammed Shami can be seen playing an important role for the Indian team in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia

India has to play a five-match Test series against Australia in the month of November this year. Mohammed Shami can also be seen playing in this five-match Test series. This is the reason why BCCI has not included Shami in the Indian team’s squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh.

Mohammed Shami bowled brilliantly in 2023. In the 2023 ODI World Cup, Mohammed Shami took 24 wickets in 7 matches at an average of 10.70.

India has lost the test series at home after 12 years. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India’s performance in the Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has been very poor. New Zealand has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. New Zealand won the second test played in Pune by 113 runs. Team India lost this test match within three days. India has lost a Test series at home to New Zealand for the first time in 69 years. After losing the Pune Test match, questions are once again being raised on Rohit’s captaincy. Fans and cricket experts are not happy with his performance. Now Rohit is being compared with former captain Virat Kohli, who was one of India’s most successful captains in Test cricket. Under the captaincy of Kohli, Team India continued to dominate at home. Rohit’s record at home Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Mitchell Santner & Rachin Ravindra (Photo Source: Under Rohit, India has lost four out of 15 Test matches at home. He has reached joint second position in the list of Indian captains who have lost the most home Tests. Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev also lost four Tests each but both captained in 20-20 matches. In such a situation, Rohit’s record is a bit scary. Kohli, on the other hand, took charge of 31 Tests in India and lost only two of them. With the loss to New Zealand, India’s streak of 18 consecutive bilateral home series wins ended, which is a world record in itself.

India’s WTC qualification scenario looks a bit difficult now: Aakash Chopra

India now has to win 5 of its upcoming 6 test matches. Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has recently given a big statement regarding India’s chances of reaching the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). Chopra says that it looks a little difficult now. It is noteworthy that after the defeat by 113 runs in the Pune Test match against New Zealand, India’s path to the WTC has become a bit difficult. India has to win only 4 of its upcoming six Test matches, while one match may be drawn. But it is worth noting here that 5 of these matches are against Australia in Australia. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the defeat in the Pune Test match, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The important question is what is the WTC qualification scenario, because India was on a mission of dominance. We thought we would win all five (home Tests) and move forward with 100 per cent points. Now the scenario is that you have to win four and draw one out of the remaining six matches, and that is a tough task. Chopra further said- Believe it or not, I think the upcoming BGT (Border-Gavaskar Trophy) is going to be very difficult. We have not lost for 10 years, but this time it will be very difficult to win. So the qualification scenario looks a bit difficult now, especially when you watch South Africa’s home matches. This is a big reason. Let us tell you that India has made it to the WTC finals for the last two consecutive times, but this time it seems a little difficult. So South Africa has won the first test match against Bangladesh, and the second match is left. While its two matches are left against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. If it wins these 5 matches, it will directly make it to the WTC finals.
