Team India to undergo changes?

Shreyas Iyer missed the crucial clash against Sri Lanka due to a back spasm and he is likely to be out of contention for place in the team. This is Jasprit Bumrah's first ever ODI commitment since he came back from a lengthy injury spell and the management is likely to give him a much needed rest keeping in mind the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup.

Both Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are expected to make way for Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna respectively. Krishna is yet to feature in the continental tournament and might have a rare appearance against Bangladesh. Shardul Thakur is also poised to replace Hardik Pandya, deputy to captain Rohit Sharma.
