Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das is '100 percent fit' ahead of the first Test against Australia, starting on Saturday. Shanto also indicated the hosts could field two spinners on a turning pitch. Litton had been nursing a finger injury but has recovered fully. His return adds depth to Bangladesh's batting. Australia, led by Pat Cummins, have a strong pace attack but may struggle on subcontinental tracks.
