Bangladesh will host England in a three-match ODI series, starting with the first ODI at the Sher-E-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Wednesday (March 1).
Tamim Iqbal-led Bangladesh head into the series with their best possible squad, while the visiting England side, led by Jos Buttler, has named a couple of new faces as some players were involved in the thrilling Test match in New Zealand.
Bangladesh have lost only three times in their last ten 50-over outings, while the current ODI and T20 World champions England have won only two times in their last 10 ODI matches that also includes a No Result.
However, the visitors won their most recent ODI outing against South Africa last month, whereas Bangladesh suffered a demoralizing 227 runs defeat to India in the dead rubber of the series in December 2022.

At home, Bangladesh are tough to beat, having won seven bilateral ODI series in their own backyard since England beat them as a visiting team nearly seven years ago. Plus, with England heading into the tour on the back of a series loss in South Africa, Bangladesh start favourites, but the World Champions will look to snap the home dominance and bounce back as they prepare for their title defence later this year.
