Bangladesh one-day skipper Tamim Iqbal has returned to the ODI side while the young gun Towhid Hrody has managed his maiden call up for the first two matches against England starting on March 1. 

Captain Tamim had missed the ODI series against India due to a groin injury with Litton Das leading the side to a 2-1 win. 

There have been three inclusions in the side in total as apart from Tamim and Towhid, Taijul Islam returned to the side. 

Hridoy scored more than 400 runs in the BPL, which prompted his call-up, while Taijul is a like-for-like replacement for Nasum Ahmed, who was among five dropped players. 

The others who were dropped are Yasir Ali, Anamul Haque, Nurul Hasan and Shoriful Islam. Anamul, who returned to the ODI side after four years against Zimbabwe in mid-2022, made only 33 runs against India. Yasir played just one game, scoring 25. Nurul meanwhile didn’t play a single game in the India series. 

Bangladesh will play three ODIs against England, part of the ICC Super League, with the first two matches in Dhaka on March 1 and 6. The third ODI is in Chattogram on March 6. The two sides will also play a T20I series.
