The upcoming two-match Test series is part of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25.
Preview
The West Indies cricket team and Bangladesh side are gearing up for a thrilling start to their two matches of the Test series set to commence on November 22 at Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium in Antigua. The two sides are ranked lower in the ICC men’s team rankings and will aim to ascend in their positions. Windies currently place in the eighth spot and hold a slight edge over the ninth-place Bangladesh side.
Coming to the team dynamics, the home team will be led by Kraigg Brathwaite in the forthcoming series. The Windies will be without Jason Holder, who is ruled out due to a shoulder injury. However, Justin Greaves and Kevin Sinclair have been recalled for this series. On the flip side, Nazmul Hossain Shanto is all set to lead the Bangla Tigers, who aim to bounce back after losing both their Tests against strong Proteas at home last month. The tourists are missing the services of Mushfiqur Rahim, while the likes of Jaker Ali, Taskin Ahmed, and Shoriful Islam have returned to the squad.
