    Axar Patel is slowly turning out to be a productive asset for the team who can contribute to the team with the ball and bat. Apart from bowling, his batting skills have come in handy recently. Axar Patel has played six Tests so far, where he bagged 39 wickets and scored one fifty to his name. Notably, Axar has taken 5 five-wicket-hauls to his name.

    Mohammed Siraj is likely to feature in the first Test against Bangladesh. He was part of the ODI series against Bangladesh that ended recently. Siraj has played 13 Tests wherein he has accounted for 40 dismissals to his name, including one five-wicket-haul.

    On the other hand, Jaydev Unadkat who guided the Saurashtra cricket team to title glory in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 earned a Test call-up after 12 long years to replace the experienced Mohammed Shami in the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Unadkat, who has played one Test in his career, will be looking forward to taking his maiden Test wicket.
