England braced for trial by spin in Bangladesh: Moeen

All-rounder Moeen Ali noted that England have good batters against spin and they are prepared to play in spin-friendly climes, in the upcoming limited overs series in Bangladesh scheduled in March.

"Always difficult in Bangladesh because they are very good team (at home) and we are also a very good team," Moeen told reporters at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Thursday, after helping the BPL side Comilla Victorians seal the final against Sylhet Strikers with a 17-ball 25.

"Doesn't matter (on likely conditions that England could encounter in the series), as we also have good players and we have been playing for a while. We adapt to different conditions. So even if the wicket is good, we still have to adapt and play differently. If the wickets are bad, then also we have a very good team."

Moeen, who played two games for the eventual champions, Victorians, seemed surprised with batting-friendly conditions at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. However, the wickets for the limited overs series against England, at the same stadium, could turn out to be different. The all-rounder said that playing in the BPL would help him to get acclimatized to the conditions.

"I only played two games. For me, the wicket was very good. Definitely, and that is one of the reasons I came. I know there is a series coming up and I want to establish myself for the World Cup coming. So this kind of exposure will definitely help."
