IND vs BAN: The India vs Bangladesh Test series will start on 19 September. Team India’s squad has been announced for the first match of this series. Team India would like to win this series to remain in the top 2 in the points table of the World Test Championship 2025 and to reach the final. Two matches will be played in the series. The first match of this series will be played in Chennai. Where Team India will miss one of its star players very much. This player is none other than Mohammed Shami. Shami has been out of Team India for a long time due to injury. Although it was expected that he could return to Team India’s squad in the Bangladesh series, this could not happen.

Why is it necessary to have Shami?

Mohammed Shami is one of those bowlers of Team India who can turn the tide of the match in his favor at any moment. Mohammed Shami has won the match for Team India on many occasions. Something similar was seen during the ODI World Cup 2024. Now the question is, why is it necessary for Shami to return to Team India’s squad as soon as possible? Some upcoming Test series are going to be very important for Team India.

The Indian team will play a Test series against New Zealand immediately after the Test series against Bangladesh. This series will be played in India itself, but after this Team India has to tour Australia. Where the role of fast bowlers will be very important. Shami still has time to become fully fit. This is the reason why he has not been selected for Team India for the Test series against Bangladesh. Shami is also not playing in the Duleep Trophy. 

can appear in this series

Team India is going to play a three-match Test series against New Zealand. The first match of this series will be played on October 16. There is a lot of hope for the return of Mohammed Shami in this series. If Shami is not able to return in this series, then Team India may have to face some problems on the Australia tour. India has defeated the Australian team twice in the Test series in Australia itself. Where the role of fast bowlers was very important in India’s victory, in such a situation the Indian team would like to maintain this momentum.
