After a year West Indies cricket team again came to Bangladesh to play 2 test match, 5 ODI & 1 T20 match. After a long time, West Indies came to play test with full squad including hard hitting batsman Chris Gayle.
West Indies coach, Ottis Gibson said that he wanted his team to be in top five in the ICC Test rankings in 12 months’ time. West Indies ranked at No.7 currently. W.I. is now above New Zealand and Bangladesh. Their mission will start in the upcoming two-Test series against Bangladesh Cricket Team starts from November 13 in Bangladesh.
This is their 3rd full tour to Bangladesh. They have won the last 2 Test series in 2002 and 2011. For this tour, they include 2 main spinners Sunil Narine and Veerasammy Permaul which seem will be tough job for Bangladeshi batsman.
On the other hand, Rubel included in 22 member preliminary Test squad of Bangladesh team. The most experienced batsman Mohammad Ashraful and left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak have been left out from the preliminary Test squad. Rubel played his last test against Pakistan in Chittagong last year. After then he injured. He seems now full fit for the first test.
