It was supposed to be all-rounder and former skipper Shakib al Hasan’s farewell Test but it’s not to be as hosts Bangladesh take on South Africa in the first Test match of the two-Test series beginning at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Monday (October 21). Najmul Hossain Shanto’s side are coming into this game with back-to-back losses at the hands of Rohit Sharma’s Team India recently.
However, they will be a different proposition at home on the slow turning wickets against the Proteas. Bangladesh will also be under a new head coach after the sacking of Chandika Hathurasinghe and appointment of former West Indies all-rounder Phil Simmons.
South Africa are getting ready to play their first Test in Bangladesh after nine year. Captain Temba Bavuma and pacer Kagison Rabada are the only ones to have any Test experience in these conditions. But Bavuma has been ruled out of the first Test due to elbow injury and will be replaced by Mumbai Indians batters Dewald Brevis.
With Shakib al Hasan out of the side, Bangladesh have to decide whether to play five bowlers or four. Left-arm spinner Hasan Murad has been picked to replace Shakib in the squad.
