KL Rahul will miss India's lone Test in Bangladesh due to an ailment. BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur confirmed that Rahul has "an illness" and will not join the squad. It is understood that the Karnataka batsman is suffering from dengue.
Since the BCCI had asked all the 15 members of the Test squad to report in Kolkata on Saturday for a fitness test, Rahul flew to the city despite the illness. The medical staff ruled him out immediately upon examining his condition.
With the Test squad including M Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan, the selectors, after being consulted by Thakur, decided not to replace Rahul with a reserve opener.
