West Indies opt to bat, Campbell misses out with sore back

Toss West Indies chose to bat against Bangladesh

West Indies captain Jason Holder opted for first strike against Bangladesh at Castle Avenue in the second game of the triangular ODI series, explaining that they were hoping to make best use of the used pitch.

Holder’s team has been forced to make one change after John Campbell, Man of the Match for his 179 against Ireland in the opening game, complained of a sore back. Shane Dowrich has taken his place.

Liton Das and Rubel Hossain have been left out from the XI that played Bangladesh’s last ODI – against New Zealand in February and Shakib Al Hasan and Mohammad Mithun have come in.

Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Soumya Sarkar, 3 Shakib Al Hasan, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 5 Mohammad Mithun, 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Sabbir Rahman, 8 Mohammad Saifuddin, 9 Mashrafe Mortaza, 10 Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 11 Mustafizur Rahman

West Indies: 1 Shai Hope (wk), 2 Shane Dowrich, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Roston Chase, 5 Jonathan Carter, 6 Sunil Ambris, 7 Jason Holder (capt), 8 Ashley Nurse, 9 Kemar Roach, 10 Sheldon Cottrell, 11 Shannon Gabriel
