The Indian team arrived here this afternoon from Mumbai.
Kohli is leading the side in the absence of regular skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni who has been ruled out of the tournament after sustaining a Grade I left side-strain injury during the second Test against New Zealand earlier this month.
India will begin their campaign to regain the trophy, that they won for the fifth and last time in 2010 in Sri Lanka, with a round robin game against hosts Bangladesh on February 26 at Fatullah.
The final of the tournament is scheduled on March 8 at Mirpur.
India squad: Virat Kohli (Capt.), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ambati Rayudu, Ajinkya Rahane, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Varun Aaron, Stuart Binny, Amit Mishra and Ishwar Pandey.
