India have won the toss and selected to bat first.
Teams:
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mushfiqur Rahim, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan(w), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain
India (Playing XI): Shubman Gill, KL Rahul(c), Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(w), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj
Shakib Al Hasan: We would have batted first. Looks to me a good wicket but history says that more wickets falls on the first day than the last day. Hopefully we can get some early wickets and put pressure on India. We're playing a Test match after 5 months, that's a big gap but we've prepared well and hopefully we can put on a good show. This is an important series hopefully we can put some (WTC) points on the board. We've got two seamers, three spinners and seven batsmen.
KL Rahul: We'll bat first. Looks a good wicket, put runs on the board and hope that the wicket breaks, use the foot-marks later on and try and see if we can take 20 wickets. There have been a few injuries, obviously we miss our captain Rohit and a few others but that gives opportunities to other guys. Everyone's played a little bit of cricket and they'll be excited to take on this challenge and contribute to the team. Kuldeep plays, there are 3 spinners - Axar, Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav - and two medium pacers - Mohammed Siraj and Umesh Yadav.
