The first Test between India and Bangladesh is set to kick off on September 19th at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This venue choice underscores the importance of the series, as Chennai’s famous pitch conditions promise to pose an intriguing challenge for both teams. Cricket fans and analysts are eagerly awaiting a thrilling contest, with India and Bangladesh ready to deliver an exciting opening to the series.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced their squad for the upcoming two-match Test series. In a notable development, the selection committee has included promising left-arm pacer Yash Dayal in the squad, marking his debut appearance for India in the Test format.

Yash Dayal earns maiden call-up 

Yash Dayal’s consistent and impactful performances in domestic cricket have bolstered his growing reputation as a formidable bowler. His recent standout showing in the Duleep Trophy 2024, where he represented India B, showcased his potential on a larger stage. In the opening match against India A, Dayal took four crucial wickets, further solidifying his readiness for the demands of international cricket.

With an impressive First-Class record of 74 wickets in 24 matches, along with 32 wickets in 20 List A games, Dayal’s inclusion in India’s Test squad is a strategic move by the team management. They are keen to see whether his domestic success can translate to the international arena, offering a fresh dynamic to India’s bowling attack.

Known for his sharp left-arm seam and swing, he has been a standout performer in the Indian Premier League (IPL), previously making his mark with the Gujarat Titans before moving to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

His Test debut marks a significant milestone in his career as he looks to replicate his success on the global stage.
