The ODI series is a part of Team India's preparation for the upcoming 50-over World Cup in 2023 which will be hosted by India. All the senior players who have returned to the team are expected to play in the first ODI. Youngsters Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Rajat Patidar and Kuldeep Sen have also been included in the squad. Washington is expected to be in the playing XI after his impressive performance against New Zealand. Meanwhile, Mohammad Shami who was a part of the squad has now been ruled out of the series due to shoulder injury and Umran Malik has been announced as his replacement.
It also marks Team India's first bilateral series in Bangladesh in seven years. Bangladesh will have the advantage of home support and playing in home conditions but cricket experts feel that the Men in Blue are favourites to clinch the series.
