Preview:

The West Indies tour of Bangladesh starts with the three-match ODI series, which will be followed by a two-match Test series. The first of the three ODIs will be played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, which has been a fortress for the home side over the years. For Bangladesh, their experienced and most loved cricketer, Shakib Al Hasan is back and will probably be playing at number four. Bangladesh have also hinted that they will not be relying overly on their spinners and will give opportunities to fast bowlers, considering their upcoming tour of New Zealand.

West Indies, on the other hand, have picked up a young, uncapped squad for this series as senior players backed out. Jason Mohammad, who will be leading the side for the second time in his career will have a tough job to pick the playing eleven from an inexperienced squad. Returning to the national side after two years, he will also have a lot to prove with his performance to make it to their full-strength squad. It will be interesting to see the playing combination from the two sides for this game.
