File Pic[/caption] Internet Desk: After recovering from a hamstring injury, Bengal wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha is believed to be included in the 15-men Indian squad, as MSK Prasad led national selection committee will pick the team for a solitary Test match against Bangladesh on Tuesday. Saha was not a part of the Indian Test squad since he got an injury after the second Test against the visitors England at Visakhapatnam. He made a strong comeback in the domestic cricket, as he scored his maiden double ton to take the Rest of Indian Team over the line against Ranji Champion Gujarat in the Irani Trophy final. Chairman of selectors Prasad has recently declared that Wriddhiman is still India's "No 1 keeper in Tests" but the committee will certainly keep Parthiv Patel's recent form in mind. With two half-centuries against England and his 90 and 143 in the Ranji Trophy final, Parthiv may just find a place in the final 15 for the match as it will be selector's way of showing that he has their confidence. Jayant Yadav, Murali Vijay – both have recovered from their injuries. Jayant has already played two T20 matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Punjab and Himachal Pradesh and will play the two-day warm-up game for India A which will test his bowling fitness in longer format. The likes of KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Chennai triple centurion Karun Nair are certainties in the side. Ajinkya Rahane, who also sustained a thumb fracture before the final Test is also expected to be back in the squad and it will be interesting because he will have to fight for a slot with Karun. Hardik Pandya might take the all-rounder's slot while Mohammed Shami's rehabilitation is still on. So in a nutshell one can expect six specialist batsmen – Kohli, Vijay, Rahul, Pujara, Rahane and Karun. The two all-rounders are expected to be Jayant Yadav and Hardik Pandya while Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashwin and Jadeja will be the four specialist bowlers. The fight for the 15th place will be likely between Ishant Sharma and Amit Mishra.
