England's recent tour of Bangladesh formed a key part of their preparation for the upcoming 50-over World Cup, with captain Jos Buttler saying ahead of the series it was "exactly the kind of challenge we need".
But for Bangladesh, it meant so much more with ODI captain Tamim Iqbal delighted to welcome England back for the first time in almost seven years.
England last visited in October 2016, just three months after the deadliest Islamist terror attack in the country's history which saw a group of five gunmen attack a cafe in the capital city Dhaka. Armed with assault rifles and machetes, the terrorists opened fire on the cafe and took diners hostage - shooting or hacking to death 22 civilians and two police officers.
