A Bangladesh Cricket Board official said that the players who are available in India and played four-day games will also play in the one-day games after seven players failed to get their visa of the country for featuring in the white-ball series.

Mohammad Saifuddin, Akbar Ali, Nayeem Hasan, Shamim Hossain Patwary, Rishad Hossain, Mahedi Hasan and Tanvir Islam were expected to fly for India on Thursday and join the BCB XI but they failed to get the visas.

Therefore the touring side has decided to play the series with the cricketers available in India, who featured two four-day games in Chennai.

'We could not get the visas for the seven cricketers and as a result, we decided to play the one-day games with the cricketers who featured in the red-ball games,' a BCB official.

BCB XI are expected to play three 50-over games on November 7, 9 and 11 respectively.

BCB XI won the opening four-day game while the second match was drawn due to rain.
