The Bangladesh cricket team suffered a heavy defeat by 280 runs in the first Test of the two-match series against India at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After going down without putting up much of a fight in the previous game, Bangladesh will have to pull up their socks up, to have any chance of challenging the Indian cricket team in the second Test match at the Green Park in Kanpur, which will begin on September 27.
In this article, SportsTiger looks at Bangladesh’s probable playing XI versus India for the second Test.
Openers: Shadman Islam, Zakir Hasan
