Chennai, Jan 5 (Inditop.com) The national selectors at their meeting here Tuesday made just one change – replacing batsman Subramaniam Badrinath with seamer Sudeep Tyagi – in the Indian squad for the two-Test away series against Bangladesh starting Jan 17.
Dinesh Karthik has also been included in the squad that has been expanded to 16 from the earlier 15 picked up for the home series against Sri Lanka last month.
The selectors also reposed faith in out-of-form pacer Ishant Sharma.
The squad has three spinners, including leg-spinnner Amit Mishra, who had fallen out of favour after his indifferent show in the Ahmedabad Test against Sri Lanka.
The team:
Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Virender Sehwag (vice-captain), Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, S Sreesanth, Amit Misra, Pragyan Ojha, Ishant Sharma, Murali Vijay, Dinesh Karthik and Sudip Tyagi.
