Three uncapped players named in India's T20I squad for Bangladesh series

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the 15-member Indian squad for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh. The series will take place following the conclusion of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship series.

Suryakumar Yadav will lead the Indian team in the T20I series, spearheading a relatively fresh squad. The team includes several uncapped players, such as the promising pacer Mayank Yadav who impressed during the Indian Premier League 2024. Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy are the other uncapped players selected for the series.

The squad also features the return of Jitesh Sharma as the wicketkeeper, joining Sanju Samson as the other wicketkeeping option.

The spin department is bolstered by Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar, with Varun Chakravarthy making a comeback after a three-year absence. Riyan Parag and Abhishek Sharma provide additional part-time spin options.

It is worth noting that the first T20I match between India and Bangladesh is scheduled for October 6th in Gwalior, followed by the second T20I on October 9th in Delhi, and concluding with the final match on October 12th in Hyderabad.
