The Cricket West Indies (CWI) has confirmed their squad for the upcoming home Test series against Bangladesh, which will begin on November 22 at Sir Vi??vian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. This series will be a cruc??ial part of the team’s preparation ahead of future international fixtures.

Jason Holder misses out due to rehabilitation

One of the notable absences in the squad is that of all-rounder Jason Holder, who will miss the two-match home Test series to continue his rehabilitation for a shoulder injury. Holder’s absence will leave a significant gap in both the batting and bowling departments, as he is known for his all-round contributions.

Injury returns for Kevin Sinclair and Anderson Phillip

Offspinner Kevin Sinclair makes his return to the squad after recovering from an injury that kept him out of the West Indies’ last Test series against South Africa in August. Sinclair’s return adds depth to the bowling attack, which will be essential in challenging the Bangladesh batsmen.

Right-arm fast bowler Anderson Phillip also re-enters the Test fold after a lengthy absence, having last played a Test match in December 2022 during West Indies’ tour of Australia. Phillip has impressed in domestic cricket, including a solid stint with Lancashire, where he took nine wickets in a match against Worcestershire.
