Team India is currently busy playing a five -match Test series in England. The team is captained by Shubman Gill. After this series, there is a possibility of playing the series with India’s white ball in August, for which changes can be seen in the team. Even the captain can change. In August, the Indian team can visit Bangladesh. During this time, a series of three ODIs and the same number of T20I matches can be played. Earlier, this tour was believed to be postponed due to a slight sourness in the relationship between the two countries, but till now the government has not given any instructions on it, after which the possibility of matching between the two countries has increased. However, during this time the captain of Team India can definitely change.
Doubt on Suryakumar’s play
India and Bangladesh may have a series of ODI and T20I matches from August 17. If Team India visit Bangladesh, then Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will return to ODI for the first time after retiring from Test cricket. Rohit Sharma can also captain the ODI team, but T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav is not sure to go on this tour yet, because he has undergone hernia surgery a few days ago and he is resting.
According to reports, the official of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said that this tour could be done at the moment. We have not discussed any discussion about postponing or cancellation of the series. We have not received any instructions from the government to cancel this tour. If such a situation comes, then we will decide accordingly. However, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced the schedule in April itself.
ODI series can start from August 17
In April, BCB announced a schedule for ODI and T20I series between India and Bangladesh. According to this, the ODI series can start from Mirpur from August 17, while the final match will be held on August 23 in Chittagong. The three -match T20 series will begin on 26 August and end on 31 August.
Although captain Suryakumar Yadav’s playing in the T20 series looks suspicious, Test team captain Shubman Gill can be rested for this series, as Team India will return from England to play a Test series of five matches on August 4. In such a situation, the players of the team can be rested. Now it is expected that Akshar Patel may be given the command of T20 team on Bangladesh tour.
Team India has not won ODI series since 2014
Team India has not won any ODI series in Bangladesh since 2014. With the return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, India will have a chance to win and end 11 years of misfortune. Last time when India played a three-match ODI series in Bangladesh, Rohit Sharma-led Team India had to face defeat in the series 1-2.
India has never played T20 series in Bangladesh. This will be the first time that the current World T20 champion team will play a three -match T20 series in Bangladesh. India won 3–0 in the recently played T20 series against Bangladesh at home.
