England, who are also the reigning T20 World Cup champions, will come into the series as favourites. They also won the recently concluded ODI series against the Tigers and would be hoping to repeat that sort of success. Jos Buttler will lead the side and is expected to play a major role at the top of the order. Ben Duckett, Dawid Malan, Moeen Ali and Phil Salt form a strong batting unit that will hope to put the Bangladesh bowlers under pressure.

Sam Curran, who was named the Player of the Series at the T20 World Cup, is part of the squad. Jofra Archer is also in the fold and England would hope he can continue the form he showcased during the ODIs. Chris Jordan, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood and Reece Topley are the other pacers in the squad. The spin department, meanwhile, will be handled by Adil Rashid and youngster Rehan Ahmed.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, have named their squad for the first two T20Is. Shakib Al Hasan will lead the side that also features explosive wicket-keeper batter Litton Das. Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed, meanwhile, will spearhead the bowling attack. The first match of the series is scheduled to be played on March 9 at Chattogram. The caravan then moves to Mirpur, with the second and third T20Is being played on March 12 and 14, respectively.
