Star all-rounder misses out as West Indies name squad for Bangladesh Tests
Bangladesh will tour West Indies for an all-format tour beginning 22 November.
Kraigg Brathwaite will lead a 15-member squad for the two-game Test series against Bangladesh. Both games will be a part of the World Test Championship. Currently, Bangladesh and West Indies are 8th and 9th on the WTC standings respectively, with a point percentage of 27.50 and 18.52.
West Indies will miss the services of their former captain and pace all-rounder Jason Holder who continues his rehabilitation of a shoulder injury.
The squad is an exciting mix of seasoned names and upcoming talent, with in-form Justin Greaves, who has had a sensational run in the domestic white-ball competition, boosting the batting ranks. Kevin Sinclair also returns to the squad as an added spin option.
