The two-Test series between West Indies and Bangladesh will begin on November 22. Both teams will be looking to bounce back from recent disappointments. The series will begin at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, followed by the second Test in Jamaica. Despite Bangladesh's historic 2-0 Test series win over Pakistan, the Tigers have struggled recently and suffered heavy defeats to India and South Africa. Bangladesh will aim to regain their previous form, which briefly shook the World Test Championship standings.
On the other hand, West Indies will also enter the contest with mixed fortunes. Their best moment in the series came when they performed their best against Australia in January at the Gabba ground in Brisbane, in which they achieved this feat thanks to the brilliant bowling of Shamar Joseph. However, their form has declined since then. They lost all their matches against England and also suffered a defeat in the home series against South Africa.
