The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Bangladesh's fitness boost with Litton Das is welcome, but talk of two spinners risks overconfidence. Australia's batsmen have faced quality spin before, and Cummins' pace battery remains lethal. The real test will be whether Bangladesh's spinners can consistently take 20 wickets on a surface that might flatten out. Can they exploit home conditions better than their opponents?
