The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has named the squad for the two ICC World Test Championship (WTC) matches against the West Indies.
It'll be Bangladesh's first Test series in West Indies since 2022, when they suffered a clean sweep in a two-match series.
Bangladesh brought back left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam for this series. He missed home series against South Africa and also missed the India series before that.
The first Test is scheduled to begin on November 22 at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, followed by the second match on November 30 at Sabina Park in Jamaica.
The tour will begin with a 4-day warm-up match from November 15-19 at Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua.
After the Test series, Bangladesh will play a limited-overs segment, with the first ODU set for December 8 at Warner Park in St. Kitts. The subsequent ODIs are scheduled for December 10 and December 12, both at the same venue.
Following the ODI series, the tour will conclude with a three-match T20I series in St. Vincent. The T20Is are slated for December 15, December 17, and December 19, all taking place at Arnos Vale Playing Field in Kingstown.
