Bangladesh will take the
field today for the second and final Test against India. Due to a wet outfield,
the toss has been delayed by an hour. Indian captain Rohit Sharma has opted to
field first after winning the toss. The match will start at 11 am (Bangladesh
time).
Indian captain Rohit
Sharma mentioned the cloudy weather and conditions as the reason for opting to
field first after winning the toss. He said that they plan to play three
pacers. After losing the toss, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain said,
"The pitch looks good for batting."
Najmul has confirmed
that two changes have been made to the team. Spinners Taijul Islam and Khaled
Ahmed have replaced pacers Nahid Rana and Taskin. This means Bangladesh will
field a bowling attack comprising three spinners and two pacers.
