England Rest Strauss for Bangladesh Tour, Cook to Lead

London: England captain Andrew Strauss and pace bowler James Anderson are being rested and have not been picked for the team's two-Test tour of Bangladesh.

Alastair Cook will lead the team for Test and One-day matches, while Paul Collingwood will be captain for two Twenty20 Internationals in the United Arab Emirates that precede the tour.

Yorkshire pace bowler Ajmal Shahzad replaces Anderson, who needs treatment for a knee problem.

England otherwise picked a strong side and will give Kevin Pietersen and Jonathan Trott a chance to recover their form.

England departs Feb. 14 for a week in the UAE before two Tests and three ODIs in Bangladesh.

ODI squad: Alastair Cook (captain), Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Paul Collingwood, Joe Denly, Eoin Morgan, Matthew Prior (wk), Kevin Pietersen, Liam Plunkett, Ryan Sidebottom, Ajmal Shahzad, Graeme Swann, James Tredwell, Jonathan Trott, Luke Wright.

Test squad: Alastair Cook (captain), Ian Bell, Stuart Broad, Michael Carberry, Paul Collingwood, Steven Davies, Graham Onions, Kevin Pietersen, Liam Plunkett, Matt Prior (wk), Ajmal Shahzad, Ryan Sidebottom, Graeme Swann, James Tredwell, Jonathan Trott, Luke Wright.
