DHAKA: The England Cricket Board (ECB) on Friday announced their Test and One Day International (ODI) squads for the much-awaited Bangladesh tour.

The 39-year old off-spinner Gareth Batty has been recalled after more than a decade. His latest appearance was also against the Tigers in 2005.

Batty will compete against Zafar Ansari for a spin-bowling berth. England's selectors admire Zafar Ansari’s all-round potential. He has claimed 22 wickets at 31.40 in the last home season.
