The Najmul Hossain-led Bangladesh team made history by whitewashing Pakistan in a two-match Test series, marking their first-ever Test series win against Pakistan. This dominant performance has boosted their confidence as they prepare for a tougher challenge against India. The Bangladesh squad has begun training at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, with the two-match Test series set to begin on September 19 in Chennai.
In a video shared by Bangladesh Cricket on their official X handle, pacer Shoriful Islam expressed optimism about the team’s chances in India, while acknowledging that India is a more experienced side. Furthermore, Shoriful emphasized the importance of performing well against a big team like India, as it would significantly raise their profile globally.
Key players Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim practiced in the nets, determined to carry their form into the India series. Bangladesh’s batters displayed resilience under pressure in the Pakistan series, and the team will need a similar collective effort to face India’s formidable bowling attack. Their pacers, who were impressive in Pakistan, will also play a crucial role alongside the spinners in challenging India at home.
Meanwhile, India has announced their squad, featuring the return of Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli, as both sides aim to secure vital World Test Championship points.
