Along with Troy Cooley, the fast bowling coach of Bengaluru’s National Cricket Academy (NCA), who will act as bowling coach. T Dilip, India’s fielding coach, has been handed temporary command of the A side. He’ll be joining the national team later next month.
India is led by Abhimanyu Easwaran. On Thursday, a team traveled for Dhaka for a pair of four-day games – from November 29 to December 2. And again from December 6 to 9 – that would overlap with the India-Bangladesh three-match ODI series. Which begins on December 4.
The full-strength India team, led by Rohit Sharma and coached by Rahul Dravid, will depart for Bangladesh on December 1. India will also play two World Test Championship Tests from December 14-18 and December 22-26.
Saurabh Kumar, a left-arm spinner from Uttar Pradesh who plays for India A, will replace Ravindra Jadeja. Who is still recovering from a knee injury. In a few days, the national selectors will ratify the replacement. They have already named Shahbaz Ahmed to replace Jadeja for the three ODIs. As well as Kuldeep Sen to replace the injured Yash Dayal.

Vijay Hazare selection committee
As previous report, the members of the Chetan Sharma selection committee were sack by the BCCI. After India was oust in the quarterfinals of the just end Twenty20 World Cup in Australia. Sunil Joshi, Harvinder Singh, and Sharma, three of the four selectors. Are in Ahmedabad to observe the Vijay Hazare Trophy knockouts. The other selection, Debasis Mohanty, has stayed absent owing to a family commitment.
Furthermore, L Sivaramakrishnan, who has been anticipated to be part of the next selection committee. Could be turned over since the BCCI is unwilling to acknowledge two selectors. Both senior and junior – with the same governmental agency, the Tamil Nadu Cricket Board. Former Tamil Nadu skipper Sridharan Sharath chairs the junior selection committee.
Sivaramakrishnan was a strong contender in 2020, however having the TNCA’s backing. The Sourav Ganguly-led BCCI picked Joshi over him in a surprising choice. He could be unlucky as well this time, unless a BCCI considers two national selectors from the same state unit. Another major question is whether BCCI will consider reapplying present panel members.
