LONDON: Kevin Pietersen was left out of the England 13-man squad announced Sunday for their upcoming one-day series against Bangladesh because of a thigh injury.

England`s selectors also chose to rest off-spinner Graeme Swann, a regular in all three international formats, following their 3-2 one-day series win over Australia completed at Lord`s here on Saturday where batsman Pietersen suffered his injury during a 42-run loss.

Jonathan Trott, like Pietersen born in South Africa, was called up into the squad, with off-spinner James Tredwell taking Pietersen`s place.

England`s three-match ODI series against Bangladesh starts at Trent Bridge on Thursday.

Squad:
Andrew Strauss (capt), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Paul Collingwood, Craig Kieswetter (wkt), Eoin Morgan, Ajmal Shahzad, James Tredwell, Jonathan Trott, Luke Wright, Michael Yardy
