Check details on the India squad for the T20I series against Bangladesh.
New Additions to the India Squad
- Mayank Yadav: The 22-year-old pace sensation has garnered attention for his impressive performances in the IPL 2024 season, where he clocked speeds exceeding 156 km/h while playing for the Lucknow Super Giants. His ability to bowl at such high speeds has made him a standout prospect, and he is expected to add significant firepower to the Indian bowling attack.
- Harshit Rana: Another uncapped player, Harshit Rana, joins the squad as a promising fast bowler. His inclusion reflects the selectors’ focus on nurturing young talent.
- Nitish Kumar Reddy: The 21-year-old all-rounder is also making his debut in the national setup. His versatility could provide valuable depth in both batting and bowling departments.
Key Returns in India Squad
- Varun Chakaravarthy: The mystery spinner makes a comeback after a three-year hiatus from international cricket. Varun’s return is highly anticipated, especially after his successful IPL season, where he played a crucial role in his team’s performance.
- Jitesh Sharma: The wicketkeeper-batsman returns to the squad alongside Sanju Samson, who is expected to be the first-choice keeper.
