WI vs BAN 1st Test: Both sides gear up for the first encounter
West Indies and Bangladesh are all set to lock horns with each other in the first Test match, beginning on Friday at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. Bangladesh are coming on the back of a disastrous 0-2 series defeat against South Africa. Moreover, they will be without the services of their two of the most reliable players Mushfiqur Rahim and Najmul Hossain Shanto, which will make things a lot harder for the visitors.
It will be highly difficult for Bangladesh to challenge strong West Indies. Recently, Bangladesh scripted history by recording 2-0 series win against Pakistan, but the task against West Indies will be too difficult for them.
West Indies, on the other hand, are having the availability of their strong players. Their bowling attack will be formed by Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph. They also have the presence of Kemar Roach, who boasts a wealth of experience. West Indies’ batting attack has the likes of Alick Athanaze, Kavem Hodge, Mikyle Louis, Keacy Carty and Justin Greaves, who all are well capable of dismantling Bangladesh.
West Indies probable XI: Kraigg Brathwaite (c), Mikyle Louis, Keacy Carty, Alick Athanaze, Kavem Hodge, Justin Greaves, Joshua Da Silva (wk), Alzarri Joseph, Jomel Warrican, Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph
Bangladesh probable XI: Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Shadman Islam, Zakir Hasan, Mominul Haque, Shahadat Hossain, Litton Das (wk), Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Taijul Islam, Nahid Rana, Hasan Mahmud
