Bangladesh President Mohammed Shahabuddin resigns nearly 2 years before completing his tenure
In accordance with the Constitution of Bangladesh, the speaker shall perform the duties of the president until the office is occupied by a new president.
India made as many as five changes by resting the likes of Virat Kohli and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah among others for the inconsequential Asia Cup Super Four match against Bangladesh at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday.
Besides Kohli and Bumrah, all-rounder Hardik Pandy, Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj have been rested, making way for Suryakumar Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Shami and Shardul Thakur as India elected to bowl first. Batting all-rounder Tilak Verma was earlier handed his India cap by skipper Rohit Sharma, and the youngster is set to make his ODI debut against Bangladesh.
