The Duleep Trophy is the last chance for these players, Rohit-Gambhir can give a surprise against Bangladesh

The cricketing season of the Indian team is over. India had to face a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka in its last series. The new season will start after a break of 1 month, in which the team has to play many important series.

The first series of the season will be against Bangladesh. After this, a Test series is to be played against New Zealand and Australia, which is very important in terms of the World Test Championship. During this time, head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma can be seen making some big decisions. Therefore, Duleep Trophy can prove to be a boon for some other players including Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan. At the same time, if the performance is not good, then the team can also be dropped from the team for a long time.

The first match of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh is to be played on September 19. But before that, Duleep Trophy matches will start on September 5 in India's domestic season. Almost all the players playing in the Test series are participating in it. Their selection will be decided based on this performance. If the report of Inside Sports is to be believed, India's squad for the Test series will be announced after the first match of the Duleep Trophy.

Quoting BCCI sources, this report says that the team is almost decided, but after seeing the performance in the Duleep Trophy, captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir can give some surprises. Therefore, this tournament is going to be very important for Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, and Shreyas Iyer who are trying to make their place in the team.

BCCI sources have said that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be seen playing against Bangladesh. On the other hand, the squad is almost decided considering the previous performance. Now only two to three names are yet to be decided, which will be taken after the first match of the Duleep Trophy. Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal can be seen in the opening, while Shubman Gill can be seen at number three. Virat, who is returning to Tests after a long time, will remain at his old place number 4. Apart from this, KL Rahul's name is also considered to be fixed. On the other hand, among the bowlers, the names of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohammad Siraj are fixed, while Bumrah and Shami will rest.

The board will keep an eye on Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer, who are out for indiscipline. Rishabh Pant can also return as a wicketkeeper after injury. Apart from this, Akshar Patel and Washington Sundar, who created a stir on the Australia tour, are also strong contenders. Among the fast bowlers, Khalil Ahmed, Arshdeep Singh, and Mukesh Kumar will present their claim.
