Ishan, who made a promising Test debut in the West Indies, was likely a contender for the first Test of the two-match series against Bangladesh. However, due to a mental health break taken in December last year, he missed the South Africa Test series, allowing Dhruv Jurel to step in. Jurel’s impressive debut against England in February solidified his place in the squad, while Rishabh Pant‘s strong performance in his return match further bolstered the wicketkeeping options.
