Fri Nov 22 12:37:50 UTC 2024: ## West Indies to Host Bangladesh in All-Format Series
**Bridgetown, Barbados** – The West Indies cricket team will host Bangladesh for a full series spanning Tests, ODIs, and T20Is, starting in November. This comes after the West Indies narrowly lost a T20I series to England, showcasing promise despite their ongoing team rebuilding phase. Bangladesh, on the other hand, enters the series on the back of disappointing recent performances, including a 2-1 ODI series loss to Afghanistan and a 2-0 Test series defeat against South Africa at home in October. Their batting woes have been a particular concern.
The series will consist of two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is. The Test matches will be played in Antigua and Jamaica, while the ODIs and T20Is will take place in St. Kitts and St. Vincent respectively.
