India vs Bangladesh series schedule:With the conclusion of India’s New Zealand tour, Rohit Sharma‘s men will now take on Bangladesh in the upcoming ODI and Test series. During the tour, Team India will play three ODIs and two Test matches against Bangladesh.
While the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has named all the important players in the team, the Bangladeshi board is yet to name its Test squad. Meanwhile, Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal has been ruled out of the ODI series due to a groin injury, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced late last night. Bangladesh’s team physio Bayiedul Islam has said that Tamim suffered a grade 1 injury on his right groin which has been confirmed after an MRI, as per Indian Express. Tamim will undergo a conservative treatment protocol for the next two weeks which may lead to him skipping the Test series altogether. Bangladesh is yet to name his replacement or a stand-in skipper. Earlier, Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed was also ruled out due to an injury.
