India have released wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant from their squad for the ODI series against Bangladesh and have handed a debut to Kuldeep Sen for the opening match of the series.
Pant was released after consultation with BCCI medical staff, but is expected to join up with the team ahead of the two-match Test series in Bangladesh later this month.
There is no room for Axar Patel in the final XI either, with the BCCI indicating that the all-rounder was not available for selection for the first ODI.

The absence of Pant means KL Rahul will keep wickets in Mirpur on Sunday, with Kuldeep earning a debut after an impressive IPL tournament for Rajasthan Royals earlier this year.
