Litton stated that his side are working on ways to improve their batting ahead of the continental tournament, which has Bangladesh slotted with Afghanistan, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka for the group stage.

“If we lose, we lose [against Netherlands]. What matters is how well we play,” Litton said.

“Abu Dhabi will be batting-friendly, like Sylhet. But to score 200-250, we also need to build a habit.

“Conditions there are quite similar to Sylhet. We’ve trained under dew here, so the players know what to expect.”

All three T20Is between the two sides will be played in Sylhet between August 30 and September 3.
