Ahmed and Abell earn first call-ups for England ODI squad for Bangladesh tour

Teenage Leicestershire leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed and Somerset captain Tom Abell have both been called up to England's limited overs squads for the first time for their tour of Bangladesh next month.

Ahmed has already played test cricket for England, when he became the youngest player to do so against Pakistan in December, and impressed, taking a maiden five-wicket haul in the process.

For Abell, this is first-ever call-up to the national side. Before the tour though, he will be captaining the Lions squad in Sri Lanka.

With plenty of other commitments for England's best players, including a test series in New Zealand that finishes a day before the start of the Bangladesh series as well as the Pakistan Super League, the squad has a different look to the one that lost a three-match ODI Series 2-1 in South Africa.

Alongside Abell and Ahmed, James Vince, Mark Wood and Saqib Mahmood all come into the ODI squad, whilst Vince is omitted from the T20 side in favour of Ben Duckett. Will Jacks also comes in for county teammate Jason Roy.

England will play three ODIs and three T20s in Dhaka and Chattogram from March 1st - March 14th. Jos Buttler will captain both sides.

England ODI squad to play Bangladesh: Jos Buttler (C), Tom Abell, Rehan Ahmed, Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, Saqib Mahmood, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, James Vince, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood

England T20 squad to play Bangladesh: Jos Buttler (C), Tom Abell, Rehan Ahmed, Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Saqib Mahmood, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood
