IND vs BAN: Abhimanyu Easwaran likely to replace injured Rohit Sharma for Tests

Bengal batter Abhimanyu Easwaran is expected to join Team India in Chattogram as injured skipper Rohit Sharma's replacement for the upcoming 2-Test series in Bangladesh, starting 14th December.

A BCCI source in the know of developments told PTI that the 27-year-old opener who has scored back-to-back hundreds in the ongoing A Test series will in all likelihood, join the squad after finishing his second A Test in Sylhet.

Easwaran who might get a chance to make his Test debut is currently leading India A in a 2-match unofficial Test series against Bangladesh A. He scored 141 in the first A Test and was 144 not out at stumps on day two of the 2nd Test.

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma who has been ruled out of the final ODI of the 3-match ODI series, will likely not play the 2-match Test series as well. In his absence, KL Rahul and Shubhman Gill are expected to open for Team India.
