New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday informed that Rohit Sharma and Navdeep Saini had been ruled out of the 2nd Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka.
” Rohit Sharma is under the care of the BCCI Medical Team following his left thumb injury, which he sustained during the 2nd ODI against Bangladesh in Dhaka.
The Medical Team is of the opinion that the injury needs some more time to heal completely before the Indian captain can bat and field with full intensity. He will continue his rehab and will not be available for the second and final Test against Bangladesh.
Navdeep Saini is also ruled out of the second Test owing to an abdominal muscle strain. The fast bowler will now report to the NCA for further management of his injury,” read the media advisory released by BCCI.
Following the changes, the BCCI updated the squad list.
India’s updated squad for 2nd Test against Bangladesh:
KL Rahul (C), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara (VC), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (WK), KS Bharat (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Mohd. Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Saurabh Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat
Team India currently lead the series 1-0, having won the first Test by 188 runs.
