Tamim Iqbal, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim, Afif Hossain, Mehedi Hasan Miraj, Mustafizur Rahman, Ebadot Hossain, Taskin Ahmed
England Playing XI

Thanks to injury, Tamim Iqbal missed a lot of cricket in recent months. He played the BPL to get his rhythm back and looked very good in the tournament, but with an international comeback coming up Iqbal will be eager to score some runs and reclaim his spot at the top of the batting order.
Reece Topley
In the absence of Archer and Wood over the last year, Reece Topley made a lot of noise. His height, left-arm angle and accuracy helped him keep his spot in the side as their premier bowler with the star pacers absent. Now, with Archer and Wood back though, Topley has a fight ahead. With the variation he offers, he will be a huge asset, complimenting the pace pair, but will have to prove himself with more consistent performances.
BAN vs ENG Match Tips
Bangladesh are coming off three straight losses. Their form now looks a little scratchy and with England showing really nice squad depth they come in as favorites for a whitewash.
