With India's test schedule all set to begin with the Bangladesh series, all the attention will remain on the Men in Blue's campaign to win the mace, which has been elusive for a few years.

The Board has already announced the squad for the first Test match against the Bangla Tigers, and a major revelation has come to light over the middle-order muddle that Team India currently faces.

Experience Prevails: KL Rahul Set to Edge Out Sarfaraz Khan for 1st Test Against Bangladesh

After the full squad for the Indian Cricket Team was announced, the middle-order muddle surrounded the Men in Blue as questions poured in on whether KL Rahul would be chosen or Sarfaraz Khan would receive the green light. Some new revelation has come to light, which suggests that the veteran instincts will be put to action as KL Rahul could be selected over Sarfaraz for Team India when they lock horns against Bangladesh at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The sources revealed how the team is focusing on the long-term goals, where experience would be favoured over fearless instincts.

"He was not dropped, but got injured. So, he is fit and available, scored a fifty in Duleep, got match time and he will start.

"Sarfaraz has done everything right and mind it, if there is an injury anywhere, he will just walk in but Rahul's experience is irreplaceable. And the team management is not just looking at Bangladesh , they are looking at Australia where previous experience matters," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
