After a long break of more than a month, Team India will make its return to the field and take on Bangladesh in a two-match Test series. The players have been on rest since the end of the white-ball series against Sri Lanka. Few of the players are playing in the Duleep Trophy.
The team will have a camp in Chennai before the start of the Test series in the city. The BCCI has kicked off the preparations for the camp and the board has called Mumbai spinner, Himanshu Singh. The Times of India has reported that Himashu has been asked to join Team India on September 12.
Himanshu, who has a similar action to R Ashwin, will be bowling to the Indian batsmen and help them prepare for the series. "All the selected players for the camp have been asked to report to Chennai on September 12. Those who are playing in the Duleep Trophy will leave for Chennai after the first match," a source told TOI.
