West Indies name unchanged squad for second Test

CRICKET West Indies (CWI) men’s selection panel has named an unchanged squad for the second Test match against Bangladesh, bowling off on Friday.

The match will be played at the Daren Sammy Stadium, in Gros Islet, St Lucia. West Indies have a 1-0 lead in the Padma Bridge – Dream Fulfilled – Friendship Test series, presented by Walton. West Indies won the first match by seven wickets at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, on Sunday.

“It was a very good victory in Antigua,” lead selector Desmond Haynes said.

“The team played really well and must be feeling really confident heading into St Lucia for the second match. We have a group of players who are very disciplined and are giving 100 per cent. Great credit to our bowlers who worked really hard in the first Test match. We can’t take Bangladesh lightly, they also bowled really well and were quite disciplined. I know we will try our utmost to win the second match.”
