Bangladesh will play windies in two tests, three ODI”s and T20I”s. The team is really in tatters after their heart-breaking whitewash against Afghanistan at Dehradun.
The Bangladesh team hasn”t lived up to expectations in tests. Though they gave shocks in the limited overs, they have to trace their weakness to create an impact in tests.
Shakib Al Hasan returns to the longest form of the game as BCB name a 15 man squad for the Windies Tour.
Shakib hasn”t represented tests for some time now. He opted to keep himself out of the game since the Southafrican tour 2017. His absence hurted the team as they suffered heavy losses. However, Both windies and Bangladesh will try to make gains in the ICC test rankings.
Taskin Ahmed and Sabbir Rahman failed to make it to the squad but young sensation Mehidy Hasan cemented his spot. Mustafizur Rahman failed yet again to feature in the squad as he succumbed to an injury prior to Afghanistan series.
The tour commences with the test series on July 4. Can Shakib turn round his team”s fortunes? Will Shannon Gabriel rattle the Bangladeshi line up as he did with the Lankans??
