Bangladesh and England would like to know each other's strengths and weaknesses better in the warm-up match on Monday before their clash in the seventh match of the 2023 ODI World Cup on October 10.
England's first warm-up match against India was abandoned due to rain without a ball bowled. And on Monday, the England team would like to play at least one practice match before going to the big tournament. The match being against Bangladesh gives them a good chance to do the SWOT analysis because they are to play Bangladesh in their 2nd match of the tournament on 10th October.

Bangladesh Skipper Shakib Al Hasan has already hinted that it might be his last World Cup and he desperately wants to win the Cup this year. His side is lined up with a good bowling attack led by cutter specialist Mustafizur Rahman. Bangladeshi will be without their veteran opener Tamim Iqbal, but Litton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto in the top order have done well for a quite time now.
England's squad is filled with stars and the management have the headache of choosing from the best players. They also would like to come out with a proper fixed playing XI before they start their campaign in the main event. This practice match against Bangladesh will give them enough time and opportunity for players to adapt to Indian situations.
Squads:
Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
England: Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (wk), Liam Livingstone, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Sam Curran, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley, Mark Wood, Gus Atkinson
