Shoriful Islam Out, Gill Rested for T20I Series

Bangladesh's left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam has been ruled out of the upcoming two-Test series against India due to a groin injury sustained during the first Test against Pakistan. Uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Jaker Ali Anik will replace him. The Test series between India and Bangladesh, part of the World Test Championship cycle, is scheduled in Chennai on September 19 and in Kanpur starting September 27. Additionally, India's vice-captain Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah will be rested for the T20I series against Bangladesh starting October 7 as part of BCCI's workload management policy. This decision aims to keep Gill fit for the crucial Test series against New Zealand beginning October 16.
