Before that, the Zimbabweans will take part in a two-day warm-up match starting on the 18th of February.

In speaking to Cricbuzz, Zimbabwe batsman Brendan Taylor said:

We are well prepared. Firstly, it’s good to be back in Bangladesh, a place we call our second home. We know the conditions, we got two good Test matches that went five days in Sri Lanka. We took lots of positives from that so hopefully we can carry on.

Zimbabwe will be hoping to pick up a test win in Bangladesh after doing so in 2018.

Sikandar Raza Butt, Regis Chakabva (wicketkeeper), Craig Ervine (captain), Kevin Kasuza, Timycen Maruma, Prince Masvaure, Christopher Mpofu, Brian Mudzinganyama, Carl Mumba, Tinotenda Mutombodzi, Ainsley Ndlovu, Victor Nyauchi, Brendan Taylor, Donald Tiripano, Charlton Tshuma
