Windies Prepare for Bangladesh Test Series

Head coach of the West Indies Test team, Andre Coley is hoping his side can bounce back from the disappointment of their last Test series loss to South Africa when they take on Bangladesh in a two-match Test series beginning Friday.

With the Windies set to play Pakistan in two Test matches in January 2025, Coley said the players were looking to end the year on a winning note and take some momentum into that series.

The opening Test against Bangladesh bowls off at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Friday.

The West Indies have not lost a Test series at home to Bangladesh since 2009 and the Kraigg Brathwaite-led team will be hoping to extend that record.

Coley maintained that the series gives both seasoned and emerging players an opportunity to impress.

The head coach said while preparations at training camp had not gone as smoothly as expected, the team was still in high spirits ahead of Friday’s opening day.

Coley said the first three or four days in Antigua we were hampered by rain, but they’ve been since able to have a couple of good sessions.
