2nd Test, Gros Islet, June 24 - 28, 2022, Bangladesh tour of West Indies

As expected West Indies have named an unchanged 13-man squad for the 2nd Test vs Bangladesh

Brathwaite: Obviously we will bowl first. There is grass on this pitch and we will look to exploit it. We can improve on our batting this match. The ball comes faster off the pitch here than in Antigua

Kemar Roach: “You have Jayden and Alzarri, and Kyle Mayers who is showing great skill with the ball. And there are other guys on the outside trying to get in as well. It’s good that we have a crop of fast bowlers coming through that can get the job done.

Kemar Roach is level with Michael Holding on the number of wickets taken and is all set to overtake him on the list. Sampath has more numbers that further the legend on Kemar Roach. For a long time, after the retirement of Curtly Ambrose, West Indies didn't have a bowler who took more than 200 wickets. Not only did he become the first bowler, this century, for West Indies to take more than 200 wickets, he is steadily climbing up the ladder for West Indies bowlers with most Test wickets

lunch on day 1. West Indies captain Brathwaite elected to bowl first hoping the pitch would help their seamers as there was a bit of grass cover. Bangladesh openers started well before Mahmudul Hasan Joy was dismissed by the debutant Anderson Phillip with the team score at 41. Tamim and Shanto looked good but Tamim lost his wicket just before the break.
