KOLKATA: Bengal named an unchanged squad for their
Ranji Trophy semifinal against Karnataka at
Eden Gardens
scheduled from Saturday.
Pacer Akash Deep, who had to sit out against Odisha in the quarterfinal because of a niggle, is back in the squad as he is likely to make a comeback.

Karnataka, who thrashed Jammu and Kashmir in their quarterfinal, will be bolstered by the return of India opener
KL Rahul.
