Tigers opt to bat in Dhaka Test; Mominul, Taskin back in eleven

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan has won the toss and elected to bat first against India in the second and final Test at Mirpur's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium today. 

The Tigers would be looking to level the series after losing the first Test in Chattogram by 188 runs. 

The hosts have made two changes to their starting eleven, with Mominul Haque replacing Yasir Ali at the number 3 spot while Taskin Ahmed comes back in for the injured Ebadot Hossain. 

India, on the other hand, have surprisingly opted for left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat in place of spinner Kuldeep Yadav, the star performer of the Chattogram Test. 

Starting XI:

Bangladesh: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Zakir Hasan, Mominul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim, Liton Das, Nurul Hasan Sohan (w), Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed

India: KL Rahul (capt), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), R Ashwin, Axar Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj
