Shakib departs after Moeen picks Tiger openers

Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan also departs after Bangladesh lost openers Naim Sheikh an Liton Das too early in their second encounter of ICC T20 World Cup.

Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah won the toss and opted to bat first against England in their second match in the Super 12 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi.

Bangladesh handed Shoriful Islam the T20 World Cup debut replacing Mohammad Saifuddin who was ruled out due to a back injury.

Bangladesh have picked three spinners.

The Tigers lost the first Super 12 match against Sri Lanka.

Mahmudullah says it "looks a good wicket to bat on, want to put a total on the board".

England are unchanged from their team that beat West Indies in their first match.

England skipper Eoin Morgan said, "We played here a lot at the IPL, wicket looks as good as it had been. New game, different challenge, and a new ground as well."

Bangladesh: 1 Mohammad Naim, 2 Liton Das, 3 Shakib Al Hasan, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim, 5 Mahmudullah (capt), 6 Afif Hossain, 7 Nurul Hasan (wk), 8 Mahedi Hasan, 9 Nasum Ahmed, 10 Shoriful Islam, 11 Mustafizur Rahman
