I make this T20 series against Bangladesh their ninth series in seven months, dating back to last October\u2019s historic return to Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1up63on\">They\u2019ve taken in five countries on their six tours, Christopher Columbus\u2019 would likely wince at their globe traversing efforts and he didn\u2019t have to worry about his strike rate or securing a spot in upcoming white ball World Cups\/ lucrative franchise tournaments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1up63on\">The first of this three match series gets underway at 9am GMT and I\u2019ll be here to OBO the action. I\u2019ll bring the news of the toss and teams from Chattogram shortly (from my sofa in South London) but in the meantime Simon Burnton is our man on the ground and here\u2019s one he prepared earlier:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"dcr-27353m\">\n<p><svg viewbox=\"4 4 24 16\" class=\"css-14ukgk6\"><path d=\"M9.2776 8H14.0473C13.4732 12.5489 12.9653 17.0095 12.7445 22H4C4.79495 17.142 6.4511 12.5489 9.2776 8ZM20.3852 8H25.0887C24.5808 12.5489 24.0067 17.0095 23.7859 22H15.0635C15.9688 17.142 17.5587 12.5489 20.3852 8Z\"\/><\/svg>Matthew Mott, England\u2019s white-ball coach, said of this series that \u201cyou can\u2019t waste these opportunities on the subcontinent and the majority of players are pushing for ODI selection \u2026 so it\u2019s probably more geared towards the ODI World Cup.\u201d They go into it with a slightly changed squad, Jason Roy and James Vince having left the group while Ben Duckett and Chris Jordan have joined, the former jetting in from the Test tour of New Zealand to press his case as a white-ball batter in the subcontinent, one he made so impressively in averaging 46.6, with a strike rate of 158.2, during the T20 series in Pakistan last year.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2023\/mar\/05\/will-jacks-england-cricket-out-of-bangladesh-tour-injury\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Will Jacks back home <\/a>recovering from a thigh injury the squad is light on batters, all of whom can expect to play every game while the bowlers rotate. Jofra Archer was the only player who missed Tuesday\u2019s training session, having been told to rest after his exertions in Monday\u2019s final ODI. This does not rule him out of the opening match, but does illustrate how cautious England are being about his return from multiple injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"bfc5129f-69c9-4faf-9589-8a297a9172b4\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:4,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2023\/mar\/08\/chris-woakes-heads-into-bangladesh-t20-series-with-eye-on-odi-world-cup&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Chris Woakes heads into Bangladesh T20 series with eye on ODI World Cup&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;inline&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;bfc5129f-69c9-4faf-9589-8a297a9172b4&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2,&quot;design&quot;:10}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\">\n<p><time datetime=\"2023-03-09T08:41:38.000Z\" title=\"Last updated Thursday, 9 March 2023 at 08:41 Coordinated Universal Time\">Updated at 03.41\u00a0EST<\/time><\/p>\n<\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<p><gu-island name=\"LiveBlogEpic\" props=\"{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;sport&quot;,&quot;shouldHideReaderRevenue&quot;:false,&quot;tags&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/england-in-bangladesh-2023&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;England in Bangladesh 2023&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/cricket&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Cricket&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/bangladesh-cricket-team&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Bangladesh Cricket Team&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/england-cricket-team&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;England cricket team&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/sport&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Sport&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sport\/over-by-over-reports&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Keyword&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Over by over reports&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;type\/article&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Type&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Article&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;tone\/minutebyminute&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Tone&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Minute by minute&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;tone\/news&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Tone&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;News&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;profile\/james-wallace&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Contributor&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;James Wallace&quot;,&quot;bylineImageUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/uploads\/2022\/08\/30\/James_Wallace.jpg?width=300&amp;quality=85&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;s=aa7d18847f4d269f8eed30ab90428ddb&quot;,&quot;bylineLargeImageUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/uploads\/2022\/08\/30\/James_Wallace.png?width=300&amp;quality=85&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;s=eb73166c6ed34247a3a7d2df4036a3b6&quot;},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;tracking\/commissioningdesk\/uk-sport&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Tracking&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;UK Sport&quot;}],&quot;isPaidContent&quot;:false,&quot;contributionsServiceUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/contributions.guardianapis.com&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2023\/mar\/09\/bangladesh-v-england-first-t20-international-live-score-updates&quot;,&quot;keywordIds&quot;:&quot;sport\/england-in-bangladesh-2023,sport\/cricket,sport\/bangladesh-cricket-team,sport\/england-cricket-team,sport\/sport,sport\/over-by-over-reports&quot;}\" clientonly=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2023\/mar\/09\/bangladesh-v-england-first-t20-international-live-score-updates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key events Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature WICKET!
