Shakib Al Hasan Issues Strong Warning to india Ahead of IND vs BAN Test Series

IND vs BAN: india is set to host bangladesh for a two-match Test series starting on september 19, with the indian team entering the series as clear favorites. However, bangladesh, buoyed by their recent 2-0 series win over Pakistan, is determined to challenge india on their home ground. Led by the seasoned Shakib Al Hasan, bangladesh is aiming for a significant upset.

Shakib Al Hasan’s recent form has raised concerns in the indian camp. The all-rounder, instrumental in Bangladesh's victory over Pakistan, recently demonstrated his skills in England, taking four wickets for Surrey in their County championship match against Somerset. His performance, with figures of 4-97, is seen as a crucial factor for bangladesh as they gear up to face India. Shakib is expected to join the bangladesh squad in india on september 15 after completing his commitments with Surrey.

For india, this series is crucial, especially in the context of the World Test championship (WTC) final qualification race. india has five of their remaining ten Test matches scheduled at home and will aim to leverage these opportunities to secure a place in the wtc final for the third consecutive time. With challenging fixtures ahead, including three home Tests against new zealand and a five-match series against australia in australia, performing well against bangladesh is essential.

The Board of Control for cricket in india (BCCI) has announced a squad with notable comebacks and new faces. virat kohli and rishabh pant return to the squad, while KL rahul retains his spot. shreyas iyer has been dropped following a disappointing series against England. India's pace attack remains strong with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and akash Deep, while yash Dayal earns his maiden Test call-up, adding depth to the bowling unit.
