The BCCI on Saturday announced an unexpected India squad for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh, under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav. For starters, speedster Mayank Yadav, who had clocked 156 kmph during the IPL, made his made into Team India. That wasn’t it, the series will also mark the return of mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who has been a consistent performer in the T20 league.

If the inclusion Mayank Yadav wasn’t enough, the Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel also rewarded some exceptional performances overall. Wicket-keeper batsman was given another chance in the series, apart from Varun. It must be reminded that the latter had a great IPL 2024 where he bagged 21 wickets in 15 matches.
Meanwhile, the first T20I will be played in Gwalior on October 6, followed by New Delhi on October 9, and Hyderabad on October 12.
