Team India may be announced soon for the two-Test match series between India and Bangladesh. The Senior Men's Selection Committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India had decided to select the team after the first round of the Duleep Trophy. These matches also ended on Sunday, September 8 and now the team may be announced on Monday, September 9. There is a constant discussion about which players will get a place but the focus is also on who among the players who were part of the last Test series may be out and at the moment this sword seems to be hanging over two players.

These two names are - Rajat Patidar and Mukesh Kumar, for whom it seems difficult to play in this series at the moment.

After a full 6 months, Team India is going to return to Test cricket from 19 September. The Indian team will host Bangladesh during this time. The team selection for this series is yet to be done. Earlier, Team India played a 5 Test match series against England between January and March, the last Test match of which was played in Dharamsala. Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were not part of the team in that series, while Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul were out of the series midway.

In such a situation, some new players got a chance but not all of them will get a chance against Bangladesh.

Patidar missed the opportunity, now comeback is difficult

A report in Cricbuzz claims that Madhya Pradesh batsman Rajat Patidar is unlikely to be selected for the Test series against Bangladesh. One reason for this is the return of Kohli, in whose absence Patidar got a chance to make his Test debut and played 3 matches. Patidar batted at number four and five during this period but could not impress in any innings. In the 6 innings of these 3 Tests, only 63 runs came from Patidar's bat.

At the same time, Sarfaraz Khan, who made his debut in the same series after him, scored 3 excellent half-centuries. In such a situation, while Sarfaraz is a contender to be selected, Patidar's return seems unlikely.

Will the selectors show confidence in Mukesh again?

Apart from Patidar, Mukesh Kumar's place is also in danger. Bengal's fast bowler Mukesh, who made his Test debut on the West Indies tour last year, has impressed on some occasions but his consistent performance has not been very good. Mukesh has taken only 7 wickets in the 3 Test matches played so far.

His last Test came against England in Visakhapatnam, where he conceded 72 runs and took only 1 wicket in 12 overs bowled in two innings. In such a situation, questions remain on Jasprit Bumrah's return to Team India and his selection as the third bowler in the presence of Mohammad Siraj. Will the selectors choose Mukesh Kumar or will they choose Akash Deep, who took 9 wickets in the Duleep Trophy, in his place? Everyone's eyes will be on this.
