The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has named a 15-member squad for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh, which will begin on October 6 in Gwalior.

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav, who impressed during the last IPL season with Lucknow Super Giants, has received his first call-up to the national squad.
