ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) today announced the match schedule for the upcoming Men’s “A” Team Series in Bangladesh. The West Indies “A” Team will arrive on 11 May and play three four-day “Test” matches at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium (SICS) in Sylhet. These matches will have full first-class status.

This will be the second West Indies Men’s “A” Team series since 2020, when COVID-19 caused major disruptions. It is a reciprocal tour by West Indies “A” following the Bangladesh “A” team’s visit last August, when they played two four-day first-class matches and three 50-over List A matches at the Daren Sammy Stadium in Saint Lucia.

West Indies Men’s “A” team matches are an important development opportunity for players pushing for selection to the West Indies senior team and for emerging players to build their first-class international experience. Roland Holder, CWI’s Manager of Cricket Operations, reiterated that the series would provide exposure for several players and noted it was significant part of CWI’s commitment to continually develop talent and prepare them for the demands at international cricket.

... for doing what you suppose to!

I figure the team will have to leave the Caribbean by 9th May to be there for 11th. That is about 2 weeks. Do we have a team? When will it be named?

You think most of the fans care?
They waiting to pick holes in the team selected.

Again we are going into a series with no tea preparation.
For the one who say we just played a regional and a Headley Weekes tournament, I say that was a team competition, not a team preparation.

Just because a team has not been announced ,does not mean it has not already been selected.A big clue is Shai Hope only signing up for 3 games with Yorkshire.It was also announced that he had been given special permission to miss the Headley-Weekes series by CWI. in order to play 3 games for Yorkshire..I can not imagine the WI senior Men's team captain being anything but captain of a West Indies A team.

The team is likely to continue to be selected along familiar lines.
