Bangladesh on Wednesday recalled wicketkeeper-batsman Liton Das and pace bowler Shafiul Islam to their squad for their historic one-off Test match against India next week. Skipper Mushfiqur Rahim, opener Imrul Kayes and batsman Mominul Haque will also return to the side after missing last month's final Test on the tour of New Zealand due to injury.
The match in Hyderabad will be the first Test ever played by Bangladesh on Indian soil. Liton, who has not played a Test match since 2015, convinced selectors after bouncing back from injury and showing impressive form on the domestic circuit.
