All you need to know about the India-Bangladesh Test in Hyderabad

#3 Nair likely to make way for Rahane

Despite scoring a triple ton in his previous Test, Nair could be left out

Having suffered a knee injury, Amit Mishra was replaced by Kuldeep Yadav in India’s 16-member squad. With Jayant Yadav proving his fitness in the domestic T20s as well as the practice match for India ‘A’, the chinaman may have to warm the bench. From head coach Anil Kumble’s subtle hints, Ajinkya Rahane is likely to replace triple-centurion Karun Nair.

An injury to his left thigh, sustained while fielding in the warm-up game, has sidelined opener Imrul Kayes. As a result, Soumya Sarkar should partner Tamim at the top of the order. Mominul Haque’s return will stabilise the batting lineup quite considerably.

Probable XI

India

Murali Vijay, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Jayant Yadav, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar/Ishant Sharma

Bangladesh

Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Mominul Haque, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (c) (wk), Sabbir Rahman, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed and Subashis Roy/Kamrul Islam Rabbi
