Raina admits India wary of 'resurgent' Bangladesh in ODI series

Bangladesh produced a sparkling performance during the World Cup, with knocking England out of the tournament to advance to their first-ever quarter-finals before claiming a 3-0 whitewash over Pakistan at home a month later.

Although Bangladesh failed to replicate the same spirit in the lone Test match against India, the Mashrafe Mortaza-led team would certainly be looking forward to continue their new-found momentum in the series.

Raina said that they are fielding their best team despite the hectic schedule, pointing the importance India gives to this series. The middle-order batsman also said that the hosts are not easy to beat now, Sport24 reported.

Bangladesh will be aiming to boost the country's chances of reaching the 2017 Champions Trophy in England. And a series win over the visitors will help them move clear of West Indies to seventh place in the world rankings.

Host England, in addition to the seven next highest-ranked sides on the ICC ODI Team Rankings as on 30 September 2015, will progress to the tournament, which will be staged from 1 to 19 June in England and Wales.
