India Announces Squad for Bangladesh T20Is; Mayank Yadav Earns Maiden Call-Up

Rishabh Pant and other test regulars rested as Suryakumar Yadav leads the team for the three-match series starting October 6.

India's squad for the T20I series against Bangladesh includes several fresh faces, with notable absences of test regulars like Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Mayank Yadav, who impressed with his pace in IPL 2024, has been called up for the first time after recovering from an injury.
Spinner Varun Chakravarthy returns to the national team for the first time since the 2021 T20 World Cup, following a strong IPL season.
The squad selection has sparked controversy among fans, particularly over the exclusion of Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad.
The T20I series will be played in Gwalior, New Delhi, and Hyderabad on October 6, 9, and 12 respectively.
