India is preparing to face Bangladesh in a riveting Test and T20 series, with two Tests and three T20 International matches on the horizon. The upcoming domestic international season commencing from September 19 will witness Team India in action, yet the squad for the Test series remains undisclosed.
A formidable pacer, renowned for his prowess on Indian pitches, is poised to make a comeback after a hiatus. This bowler boasts exceptional statistics while bowling in India and has been absent from the Test team since June 2023. The selectors are closely monitoring players for the upcoming series against Bangladesh, which promises to introduce new talents while potentially recalling seasoned performers like Umesh Yadav.
Umesh Yadav, a stalwart known for troubling batsmen with his speed and swing, boasts an impressive record in red ball cricket in India. With 170 wickets in 57 Test matches, including 101 taken on Indian soil across 32 matches, Umesh has showcased his prowess with two 5-wicket hauls and a 10-wicket haul. Despite being sidelined post the 2023 World Test Championship final, his return to the squad appears imminent.
Noteworthy are Umesh Yadav’s commendable performances in Test matches against Bangladesh, where he stands as India’s fourth top wicket-taker against the country. Having claimed 22 wickets in 6 matches, including two instances of 4-wicket hauls and a 5-wicket feat, Umesh’s dominance against Bangladesh is a testament to his skill and impact on the field.
