Bangladesh, led by captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz, will look to secure a win in their three-match ODI series against West Indies starting on December 8. The match carries weight and the team will be looking to build on their early confidence.
The visitors enter the match with some key players injured and missing out like captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and veteran Shakib Al Hasan.
West Indies also face a selection challenge of their own but will have two ODI players – Marquino Mindley and Jediah Blades – having impressed in recent Super50 matches.
Mindley’s impressive haul of 20 wickets in seven matches and Blades’ 14 in five matches have provided a promising opportunity for the talented youngster.
Fresh from a 1-1 draw in the Test series, Bangladesh will rely on experienced players like Litton Das and Afif Hossain returning to face the Caribbean challenge.
