Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami are unlikely to recover in time to take part in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, which starts on December 14 in Chattogram. Both players had missed the preceding ODI series with injuries. In their absence, India are likely to bring in Saurabh Kumar and Navdeep Saini as replacements. Both Saurabh and Saini are currently part of the India A side also on tour in Bangladesh.

ESPNcricinfo has learned that the selectors are awaiting a final report from the BCCI's medical staff on Rohit Sharma's left thumb injury he picked during the second ODI. Rohit rushed back home to Mumbai on Wednesday and visited a BCCI-appointed specialist. The team management is optimistic about him getting fit before the second Test, which starts on December 22 in Mirpur. The two-match series is part of the World Test Championship.

Unadkat coming in place of Shami may not exactly be a like-for-like replacement but sources in the BCCI have revealed to Cricbuzz that the veteran pacer has been picked on current form. He was the highest wicket-taker in the just-concluded Vijay Hazare Trophy in which has had 19 scalps in 10 games.

Likely squad for 1st Test (December 14-18): KL Rahul (C), Shubman Gill, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (WK, VC), KS Bharat (WK), Saurabh Kumar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohd. Siraj and Umesh Yadav.
