India and Bangladesh get down to the business of limited-overs’ cricket when they meet in the opener of a three-ODI series in Mirpur, Dhaka, on Thursday.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will lead a full-strength India against the World Cup quarter-finalists who have done well in the 50-overs format of late, beating Pakistan 3-0 in April.
India last played a bilateral series in Bangladesh in 2014 when the Suresh Raina-led side beat the hosts 2-0 after the final ODI was washed off.
