Delhi: The two-match Test series between Australia and Bangladesh will start from Thursday, August 13. Before this, a very relieving news has come for Bangladesh. Team captain Nazmul Hussain Shanto has said that star wicketkeeper batsman Liton Das is completely fit and he will be available for selection in the first test.

Das fully fit

Das's availability has come as a big relief to Bangladesh, as his fitness had become a matter of concern for the team. Das has been an important member of the team for the last many years and in the last five years, he has been the leading run-scorer in Test cricket for Bangladesh. Now after he is fully fit, it is expected that Das will be fielded to bat at number-5 or number-6 in this high-voltage match.

Bangladesh has not yet confirmed its bowling attack

Bangladesh has not yet finalized its full team combination for the first Test. Shanto has confirmed that the team management will assess the pitch and conditions on Thursday morning and a final decision will be taken based on that.

Shanto said in the press conference, “The pitch looks good. I think we can go with our normal team combination, which will be two spinners and three fast bowlers. However, we will once again look at the pitch and conditions tomorrow and then decide on the team combination according to the conditions.”

Australia has announced playing-11

Australia has announced the playing-11 for the Darwin Test a day in advance. Josh Hazlewood has returned to the team. At the same time, Scott Boland had to go out.

Australia's playing-11: Jake Weatherald, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Cameron Green, Alex Carey, Beau Webster, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
