Teams Preview:
BANGLADESH: Bangladesh has shown strength in limited-overs cricket, defeating top teams like England and India. However, their performance in the longest format of the game has been lacking, losing 8 of their last 10 Test matches. Shakib Al Hasan will miss an important match due to injury, and Litton Das will lead the team, with Tamim Iqbal and Najmul Hasan Shanto likely to start the batting. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are key players, with Mehidy Hasan being relied upon as a quality all-rounder. Bangladesh has a strong seam attack but will have to depend on Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam for spin in the absence of Shakib.
Playing 11: Zakir Hasan, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Ebadot Hossain.
AFGHANISTAN: Afghanistan has limited experience in Test cricket, having played only 6 matches so far. Key players Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman will miss an upcoming game due to injury concerns. Hashmatullah Shahidi will lead the team, with Abdul Malik and Ibrahim Zadran expected to open the batting. Bahir Shah and Nasir Jamal will be relied upon in the middle order, and all-rounders Karim Janat, Rahmat Shah, and Amir Hamza add depth to the batting. Leg-spinner Izharulhaq Naveed is likely to earn his maiden international call, and Yamin Ahmadzai and Karim Janat are expected to start with the new ball. Afghanistan has included debutant seamers Mohammad Ibrahim and Nijat Masoud in the squad.
Playing 11: Ibrahim Zadran, Abdul Malik, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Nasir Jamal, Karim Janat, Afsar Zazai, Amir Hamza, Zahir Khan, Nijat Masood, Yamin Ahmadzai.
