The Test series between India and Bangladesh is going to start from 19 September. For which the BCCI announced the Indian team yesterday. Many players have returned to Team India after a long time, while some players have been dropped from the team. Shreyas Iyer and Mohammed Shami have also not been selected in the Indian team for the Test series against Bangladesh.
Iyer is currently playing in the Duleep Trophy, apart from him Mohammed Shami has been out of the Indian team for a long time due to injury. In such a situation, fans were hoping that Shami could make a comeback in the Indian team from this Test series. But this could not happen.
Iyer's bad form
Shreyas Iyer suffered a back injury during the Test series against England earlier this year. After which he had to leave the team. After this Iyer did not even play in the Ranji Trophy, due to which the BCCI also removed Shreyas from the central contract. In IPL 2024, KKR won the title under the captaincy of Iyer, but Iyer could not do wonders with the bat.
After this, Iyer was included in Team India for the ODI series against Sri Lanka, in which Shreyas's bat remained silent. Now Iyer had a chance to return to the Test team by performing well in the Duleep Trophy, but Iyer did not perform well in the first match, after which he has now been dropped from the team.
Mohammed Shami can make a comeback
Mohammed Shami was last seen playing for India in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Meanwhile, he got injured and since then Shami is out of Team India. However, now Shami is fully fit and is trying to make a comeback. Regarding Shami's return in the Test series with Bangladesh, a few days ago, Team India selector Ajit Agarkar had said that Shami's return is still being considered. But now Shami has also not been included in Team India for this series. According to the report, Shami can be seen playing for Bengal in the new season of Ranji Trophy this time.
