West Indies Announce Strong Test Squad Against Bangladesh
Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced its much-anticipated squad for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. The series, part of the ICC World Test Championship, will take place from November 22 to December 4, 2024, at venues in Antigua and Jamaica.
Led by Kraigg Brathwaite, the squad features a blend of experienced players, in-form performers, and fresh talent. Justin Greaves, who scored three centuries in the CG United Super50 Cup, has earned a call-up. Additionally, Kevin Sinclair returns as a spin-bowling option. However, Jason Holder will miss the series as he continues his recovery from a shoulder injury.
West Indies fans can watch the matches live on ESPN Caribbean, while viewers in Bangladesh can tune in via the Toffee digital platform.
