This upcoming Test series against Bangladesh will be the first red-ball assignment for Gautam Gambhir as India's head coach. Apart from Gambhir, new bowling coach, South African great Morne Morkel, and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar also joined the squad.
The BCCI posted images of the first day of practice and wrote, "The countdown starts as Team India begin their preps for an exciting home season."
The images showed the entire squad listening attentively to Gambhir, his support staff and skipper Rohit. Former India captain Virat Kohli who was spending time with his family took the direct flight from London to join the squad ahead of 1st Test match. This will be Kohli's first outing in red-ball cricket after India's tour of South Africa.

The second round of the Duleep Trophy will end on September 15 and only after this Sarfaraz Khan will join the Test Team India camp.
