IND vs BAN: Yudhvir Singh will join team India as a net bowler for the Bangladesh Test series

IND vs BAN: India are all decked up to start their long streak with the red ball, as they will play 10 Test matches. India are to begin with the home series against Bangladesh on the 19th of this month at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Before they begin their longest test schedule, which comprises a 2-match series against Bangladesh, a 3-match home series with New Zealand, and finally travel to India for the ultimate test championship, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, under the new Indian coach Gambhir, India needs to fix a Playing 11.

With the BCCI’s ultimatum players participating in the Duleep Trophy, some like Pant and Rahul made their return into the side.

India have brought back their ace pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, back into the side as he is all set to rule red ball again.

While Bumrah will lead India’s pace attack, Siraj and the other two pacers, the 1-year-old Akash Deep and the young Yash Dayal, who received a maiden test call, will aid him in the department of quicks.


India’s two front-line spinners lie in all-rounders Jadeja and Ashwin; however, the competition or the third spin option between Axar and Kuldeep might bend a little to Axar for his batting prowess.

However, the management to manage the workload of the bowlers has picked LSG pacer Yudhvir Singh as a net bowler. He was identified in the LSG camp by Morne Morkel as a raw talent of good pace and subtle accuracy, helpful for Indian batters at the net.

Also, the likes of Ashwin-like spinner Himanshu Singh have been picked to bowl in the nets for the Indian team in their preparation matches at Chepauk that begin on the 12th of September.
