On Saturday (February 25), the England Cricket Board announced that Will Jacks would be stepping in for the injured and uncapped Tom Abell in the upcoming three-match ODI series against Bangladesh, which is set to commence on March 1.

The ECB mentioned that Jacks will be joining the team in Dhaka later that evening as he has been with the Test squad in New Zealand.

According to Matt Somerford, the media manager of the England team, batting allrounder Tom Abell had to be removed from the squad due to a side injury he incurred while playing for the England Lions during their tour of Sri Lanka last week. It was confirmed that Jacks would take over Abell's position in the team. Additionally, Abell is still included in England's T20I squad.

On Saturday, the England ODI team started their preparations for the series with a relaxed practice session at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. The team arrived in Bangladesh on February 24.
