The Team India squad for the first Test against Bangladesh has been announced by the BCCI, reports cricket.one.
As expected, there hasn't been too many changes, with Rohit Sharma set to lead the side, and Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant back in the Test team.
However, there is no space for Shreyas Iyer in the Indian team for the first Test.
The middle-order batter scored crucial runs in the recently concluded Duleep Trophy match, but has been ignored by the selectors.
He failed in the first innings of the Duleep Trophy match but bounced back in style to score a fifty in the second innings, but despite this, the selectors ignored him for the first Test match.
