BCCI has announced the team for the first match of the Test series against Bangladesh. Three names in it are quite surprising. 

Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul have returned to the team after a long time. While Sarfaraz Khan has been given a place in the middle order. Left arm fast bowler Yash Dayal has been included in the Test team for the first time.

India's wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has returned to Test cricket. He played his last Test match against Bangladesh in the year 2022. 

After this series, he got injured in a car accident. Rahul is also returning to Test cricket after a long time. Rahul could not make it to the Test series against England due to injury. Virat Kohli was also not seen in the Test series against England.

India has given a chance to young players in the first test match. Yash Dayal has been included in the team for the first match for the first time. The team management has shown faith in Akash Deep, Sarfaraz Khan and wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel. Akash bowled brilliantly in both the innings in the first match of the Duleep Trophy and took 9 wickets in the match. 

Yash Dayal has also got the reward for his good performance in the Duleep Trophy.
