Mukund returns to India squad
Making a return to the national side after a five-years, batsman Abhinav Mukund has been recalled to India’s test side, who will take on Bangladesh in a one-off Test match.
Included in the 16-man squad is wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha, who also returns to the squad in place of Parthiv Patel.
Interestingly, Patel was considered one of the better players in their last Test against England when he came in for an injured Saha.
Other players returning from injury include M Vijay and Ajinkya Rahane, allrounders Jayant Yadav and Hardik Pandya.
India Squad: Virat Kohli, M Vijay, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Karun Nair, Wriddhiman Saha, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Jayant Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Amit Mishra, Abhinav Mukund, Hardik Pandya
