India Announces Squad for T20I Series vs Bangladesh

The BCCI has announced a strong Indian squad for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh, led by Suryakumar Yadav and featuring three uncapped players: Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, and Mayank Yadav. Notable absences include Avesh Khan, Tilak Varma, and Ishan Kishan, who have shown impressive recent performances but were overlooked for the series. Fans reacted strongly to Kishan's exclusion, given his recent form in the Duleep Trophy and Buchi Babu Cricket Tournament. Meanwhile, Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi made headlines by excluding MS Dhoni from his all-time ODI World XI, opting instead for Pakistan's Rashid Latif as the wicketkeeper. In Tests, India’s assistant coach Abhishek Nayar emphasized that the team does not need a designated vice-captain for the series against Bangladesh, citing the leadership experience of players like Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant.
