India squads for Bangladesh tour announced; Prithvi Shaw ignored, Yash Dayal gets maiden call up

Prithvi Shaw, who has been in terrific form lately and also smashed his maiden T20 century during a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match recently, has been completely ignored by the selectors.

The BCCI on Monday announced the Indian squads for the tour of Bangladesh, which will consist of two Tests and three ODIs. The Men in Blue will tour Bangladesh in the month of December 2022 after the completion of the ICC T20 World Cup and the New Zealand tour.

Notably, Rohit Sharma will lead India in both ODI and Tests , while KL Rahul will be his deputy. However, batter Prithvi Shaw, who has been in terrific form lately and also smashed his maiden T20 century during a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match recently, has been ignored by the selectors.

Also, Ravindra Jadeja has been named in both ODI and T20I squads after he was ruled out of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 due to a knee injury. However, the all-rounder will be part of the tour only if he regains full fitness.

Moreover, bowling all-rounder, Deepak Chahar has been named in the ODI squad after he was ruled out of the T20 World Cup due to back issues.

Squad for Bangladesh Tests: Rohit Sharma (C), KL Rahul (VC), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), KS Bharat (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Umesh Yadav. — BCCI (@BCCI) October 31, 2022

There are some notable additions in the ODI line-up, with the inclusion of Rajat Patidar, Rahul Tripathi, and left-arm pacer Yash Dayal, who earned his maiden India call-up.

Meanwhile, Cheteshwar Pujara has retained his place in the Test squad after his form revival in County Cricket. However, former India Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane and batter Hanuma Vihari failed to find a place in the team.

Interestingly, the Bangladesh tour will also mark the return of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul as they have been rested for the preceding series against New Zealand.

India will kick off their tour of Bangladesh on 4th December with the ODI series scheduled to take place before the two Tests that will be taking place in Chattogram and Dhaka. The Test series will be a part of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23, the final of which will be played next year in the month of June.

India’s ODI squad vs Bangladesh: Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, Rajat Patidar, Rahul Tripathi, Ravindra Jadeja (subject to fitness), Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant.

Uncapped Dunith Wellalage in Sri Lanka's T20 World Cup squad

L eft-arm spinning allrounder Dunith Wellalage has made Sri Lanka's squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup despite never having played a T20 international. Top-order batter Kamindu Mendis , and round-arm seamer Nuwan Thushara are also in the 15.

From the older cohort, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, and Dasun Shanaka also find places in the squad.

The team is led by Wanindu Hasaranga , who missed the IPL with a long-standing heel injury , largely so he would be fit for the World Cup. He has made his return to competitive cricket in the ongoing practice matches in Sri Lanka, where he has batted in the first two matches but not bowled.

Wellalage has been chosen more for his skillset, rather than performances in T20s, or form. In addition to bowling good left-arm spin, he's also capable of hitting boundaries from lower down the order, and is also an excellent fielder. The selectors are understood to have thought of him as a handy utility player in a World Cup campaign. Wellalage has had some success in international cricket, most memorably in an Asia Cup ODI match against India in 2023, when he took five wickets.

Missing out on selection are players like opening batter Avishka Fernando, left-arm seamer Binura Fernando, and batter Kusal Perera. Avishka had modest performances on the tour of Bangladesh in March, Kusal Perera had not impressed selectors after a long injury layoff, and Binura has been outperformed by Thushara, who took 5 for 20 including a hat-trick in his last international outing.

The batting order is somewhat predictable: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Kamindu Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka and Angelo Mathews are likely to form the top six. On the spin front, they have Maheesh Theekshana and captain Hasaranga as likely first-choice players, with Hasaranga poised to go up the order when required.

There is serious competition for fast-bowling places, however, with Dushmantha Chameera the likeliest starter, but with Thushara, Matheesha Pathirana, and Dilshan Madushanka providing tough competition.

Sri Lanka are in group D at the T20 World Cup along with Bangladesh, Nepal, Netherlands and South Africa. They play their first game of the tournament against South Africa on June 3 in New York, before travelling to Dallas to play Bangladesh on June 8. Their last two group games are against Nepal and Netherlands, in Florida on June 12 and St Lucia on June 17.

Rohit Sharma explains rationale behind India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad selection

The India captain and chief selector discussed the omission of Shubman Gill and Rinku Singh from the 15-member squad, among other decisions.

India named their 15-member squad and four travelling reserves for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 this week and skipper Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed a press conference to reveal the thinking behind the selection choices made.

While most of India's squad picked itself, there were a few surprising calls, with the omission of Shubman Gill and Rinku Singh prominent among them.

Calling it one of the "toughest decisions" the selectors had to make, Agarkar explained that the duo had done "nothing wrong" and the choice was due to combinations that the team wanted.

India announce squad for Men's T20 World Cup 2024

"It [Rinku Singh's omission from the first 15] is probably the toughest thing we have had to discuss," Agarkar said.

"He has done nothing wrong, not even Shubman Gill for that matter. It’s about combinations. There are a couple of wrist spinners included to give Rohit more options. It’s just unfortunate. He's in the reserves, so that tells you how close he came to being in the 15.

"But at the end of the day you can only pick 15 players in the squad."

Rohit Sharma hit 31 sixes in the World Cup.

The addition of the two wrist spinners — Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav — means that India have four spinners in their squad of 15, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel being the others.

Rohit didn't go into the details behind the decision but revealed that India playing morning games in the tournament was a factor behind it.

"I don’t want to go into too much detail because I am sure opposition captains will listen to this," he said. "I wanted more spinners, we know what the conditions are like. Matches start at 10-10.30 in the morning. There's a technical aspect involved in this.

"I wanted four spinners and three seamers and with Hardik being there you get the balance. With two spinners being all-rounders, then two attacking spinners give you balance in the spin department as well. Based on opposition composition we can decide who we want to play with."

All squads announced so far: ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024

Ravindra Jadeja bowled an absolute beauty to beat Steve Smith's defence in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup clash between India and Australia in Chennai.

Explaining why India didn't pick an off-spinner despite the presence of four spinners in the squad, Rohit said that it came down to Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel fighting for one spot, with the latter's recent form helping him grab the spot.

"We discussed a lot, unfortunately, Washy [Washington Sundar] hasn’t played a lot lately. It was then between Ash and Axar. Ash hasn’t played the format lately. Axar was in good form when he played those five matches against Australia. He has been bowling well and gives us that left-handed option in the middle [with the bat] if we want to do something different."

India's Hardik Pandya broke a crucial 121-run stand in the 35th over of his team's clash against Afghanistan in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023.

India's squad is balanced by several all-rounders including vice-captain Hardik Pandya, the two spinners, Axar and Jadeja, and Shivam Dube. 

Stating that there was no replacement for what Hardik brings to the side with his all-round ability, Agarkar said that his fitness will be crucial for India.

Rohit, meanwhile, affirmed that the duo would do the exact same roles they fulfill for their IPL sides.

"Expect them to do what they are doing in IPL," Rohit said.

"Unfortunately Shivam hasn’t bowled a single ball in IPL but he is a seasoned cricketer. When he plays T20 format, it’s about little bit of skills coming in to the picture. I will be expecting if we need Shivam to ball few overs, he will. Same with Hardik, he has come and bowled whenever needed."

Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 53-ball 82* to help India secure an opening victory against Pakistan in their ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 encounter.

The other contentious call was around the wicketkeepers with India leaving out KL Rahul, who shone in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 at home, for Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant. 

Agarkar explained that Rahul wasn't considered as the team sought wicketkeepers who could bat down the order.

 "KL's a terrific player. But we wanted players who can bat in the middle," he said.

"KL's batting at top right now [for his IPL team]. We felt these two are better equipped at this point in the latter half of the innings." 

The duo also rubbished queries around Virat Kohli's strike-rate in T20 cricket, stating that there were "no concerns there at all".

Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe T20I squads: Full team list and injury updates for BAN vs ZIM 2024

Bangladesh will host Zimbabwe for a T20I series from May 3 Here are the BAN vs ZIM 2024 T20I squads, including the full team lists and injury updates.

The first three matches will be played on May 3, 5 and 7  in Chattogram. Dhaka will host the remaining two matches on May 10 and 12.

Najmul Hossain Shanto will lead Bangladesh. Mohammad Saifuddin has been recalled for the first three T20Is, having last played in the format in October 2022. A back injury ruled him out till January this year before he returned to play BPL, where he picked up 15 wickets in nine matches for Fortune Barishal.

Among newcomers, Tanzid Hasan has received his maiden T20I call-up. He has represented Bangladesh in 15 ODIs so far, and was part of the 2023 ODI World Cup squad. Left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam, all-rounder Afif Hossain and opener Parvez Hossain are also a part of the squad.

Mustafizur Rahman and Shakib Al Hasan will miss the initial three matches. Shakib will return to Dhaka on April 30, following which he will likely play a Dhaka Premier League (DPL) match and join the squad for the remaining two matches. Meanwhile, Mustafizur Rahman will arrive on May 2 after his ongoing IPL stint with Chennai Super Kings before undergoing a fitness test.

Anamul Haque, Mohammad Naim and Taijul Islam have been dropped from the squad that played three T20Is against Sri Lanka recently, while Soumya Sarkar is nursing a knee injury he suffered during the third ODI of that series.

For Zimbabwe, Sikandar Raza will captain a 15-member group. The squad also features veterans like Sean Williams, Craig Ervine, Blessing Muzarabani, and Richard Ngarava. Jonathan Campbell, son of former Zimbabwe captain Alistair Campbell, has earned his maiden international. Tadiwanashe Marumani and Faraz Akram have made a comeback into the T20I fold.

Young guns like Clive Madande and Brian Bennett are also part of the tourists’ squad. Malande, Bennett and Campbell featured in Zimbabwe’s emerging men’s team that won the gold medal at the 13th African Games in Ghana in March.
