Team India: Team India has to play a 2 Test match series against Bangladesh. The selection committee has announced a 16-member team squad for the first match of the Test series against Bangladesh. In the 16-member team squad, Ajit Agarkar has selected a mix of young and senior players. Team India will play a Test series against New Zealand after the Bangladesh Test series. Agarkar has selected a 16-member team mix against the Kiwis.

If reports are to be believed, the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar may soon announce the 16-member team squad for the 3 matches of the New Zealand Test series.

Ajit Agarkar will soon be selected for New Zealand Test series

Team India has to play a series of 3 Test matches against New Zealand in the month of October-November 2024. Which is to start from October 16.

These 3 test matches against New Zealand are going to be very important for Team India before going on Australia tour at the end of the year. Due to which the selection committee will announce a 16-member team squad instead of 15 for the test series against New Zealand on behalf of Bangladesh.

The same team can be selected for the New Zealand Test series as well

If we look at the Indian team squad selected for the first match against Bangladesh, it seems that the selection committee may now give the same 16 players a chance for the Test series against New Zealand.

In the Test series against New Zealand, the selection committee can give Yash Dayal a chance as the fourth fast bowler, but there can be a difference between these two Test series that by giving rest to a fast bowler in the New Zealand series, captain Rohit Sharma can give Yash Dayal a chance to debut for Team India.
