The World Cup is over and the Indian team could not become the champion once. Now the time has come to move on from that. It will start from Friday 18 November with the start of the India-New Zealand T20 series in Wellington. After this series, the Indian team will also play the ODI series, but the real series for Team India is on the Bangladesh tour next month, where they have to play two Test matches. There is still time in this series, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India is already planning to send Cheteshwar Pujara and Umesh Yadav to Bangladesh to prepare for it.
To maintain the possibility of reaching the final of the ICC World Test Championship, India have to win their last 6 Tests and two of these Tests will be played against Bangladesh. Team India has been announced for this series to be held in December, in which veteran batsman Pujara and experienced fast bowler Umesh have also got a place. Both play for Team India in only one format and in such a situation the board can already send them to Bangladesh along with the India-A team for the preparation of the series.
Pujara will be the captain
A report by the cricket website Cricbuzz has claimed that before Team India’s tour of Bangladesh, the A team will also go there and play unofficial Test matches during this time. According to the report, Pujara and Umesh Yadav are being made part of India-A for this series. Pujara and Umesh are currently playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Pujara is representing his Saurashtra team, while Umesh is trying hard for Vidarbha.
According to the report, Saurashtra star Pujara can also be handed over the captaincy of the team. The national selection committee can announce the team for this tour on Friday, 18 November.
Team India tour in December
India A will play two four-day matches on this tour, the dates of which are yet to be announced. At the same time, the Indian team will go on a tour of Bangladesh in the first week of December. On this tour, Team India will play the first three ODI series. After this there will be a two match test series. The ODI series will start from 4 December, while the Test series will start from 14 December. Team India has been announced for both these series.
