Team India, which returned after tasting both victory and defeat in Sri Lanka under the leadership of new head coach Gautam Gambhir, is currently resting. The Indian team now has to play a Test series against Bangladesh, which is going to start from 19 September. Team India will also be announced as the time for that series comes closer. 4 players can be seen returning in India's Test team against Bangladesh. One of these four players can be seen playing a Test match after 15 months.

These 4 players will return against Bangladesh

The four players who can return to India's Test team against Bangladesh are Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, R.

Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Out of these, Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja played their last Test match in March this year. But, Shami played his last Test in June last year. In such a situation, if he is selected for the Test series against Bangladesh, then he will be seen playing a Test match after a full 15 months.

Shami will be seen playing Test after 15 months

Shami is away from Team India due to injury. It will be 10 months since Shami has played any match of white ball cricket, let alone Test cricket.

The good thing is that Shami has now started bowling in the nets. Seeing his practice, Team India's chief selector Ajit Agarkar had also told before the start of the series against Sri Lanka that if everything goes well, Shami can be seen playing the Test series in Bangladesh.

Ashwin, Bumrah, Jadeja can also return

The Indian team management's approach towards Ashwin now seems clear. He will be played only in red ball cricket. And, after playing the home series against England in March, he can now be seen playing the Test series directly against Bangladesh.

Bumrah and Jadeja were also part of Team India in the T20 World Cup after playing the Test series against England in March this year.

Both of them were rested from the white ball series against Sri Lanka. And, now it is expected that both these players can return to Team India from the Test series against Bangladesh.

Test against Bangladesh is important for WTC final

The Test series against Bangladesh is going to be crucial for India to make it to the final of the World Test Championship. In such a situation, the return of Shami, Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja becomes even more important for India.

Shami and Bumrah together strengthen India's pace attack. At the same time, the world has seen the magic of the pair of Ashwin and Jadeja in spin many times.

All four have taken a lot of wickets in the last 4 years

If we look at the last 4 years, these four are the highest wicket-takers in international cricket. From the year 2020 till now, Bumrah has taken the most 181 wickets in international cricket, while Ashwin is right behind him with 180 wickets. Jadeja has 141 wickets, while Shami has taken 127 wickets.
