Bangladesh vs England First ODI: What has been said?
England captain Buttler said: “It’ll be a great challenge for us.
“Obviously Bangladesh are very tough to beat in their home conditions, they beat India as well.
“So this is exactly the kind of challenge we need, nearing the World Cup, to test ourselves in probably the conditions that we as a side will find the hardest. This can be a great measure of where we are as a team.
“We’re expecting a slow and low wicket, which is exactly what we want, to test ourselves in tough conditions which will be great preparation for us moving forward.”
