West Indies wins the toss and bats 1st in the 2nd cricket test against Bangladesh

In the second and final cricket test between West Indies and Bangladesh, held in Sylhet, Bangladesh on Thursday, the West Indies team won the toss and elected to bat first. This was the scenario following their victory in the first test by a margin of eight wickets in Dhaka.

The lineup for the West Indies comprised of several notable players, with captain Roston Chase leading the team. Among the batting lineup, Kevin Wickham, a debutant in this series, was included, while another familiar face, Joshua Da Silva, returned to the team having previously been absent due to illness. Both John Campbell and Tagnarine Chanderpaul were absent from the current lineup due to a viral fever.

On the other hand, Bangladesh's team saw some changes as well. Veteran Mushfiqur Rahim, who had missed the first test due to a finger injury, was back in the squad. Additionally, pacer Taskin Ahmed was also included in the team, replacing Mominul Haque who was out due to a head injury, and Shoriful Islam, who was replaced by a pacer named Taskin Ahmed.
