West Indies Eager to End 2024 on Winning Note, Insists Andre Coley
West Indies head coach Andre Coley emphasized the importance of ending the year on a high note as they prepare to take on Bangladesh in a two-match Test series starting in Antigua on November 22.
Series Holds Little Meaning in WTC Standings
The series, part of the World Test Championship, holds little significance for both teams, with Bangladesh and West Indies ranked eighth and ninth respectively in the WTC standings.
West Indies Look to Bounce Back from Disappointing Series
West Indies are eager to bounce back from their disappointing home Test series against South Africa, where they drew the first Test but lost the second by 40 runs. Coley described the loss as a "big disappointment."
Key Players Return and Missed
Fast bowler Alzarri Joseph returns for the series against Bangladesh after being rested for the South Africa series, while all-rounder Jason Holder will miss the series due to a shoulder injury.
Opportunity for Senior and Emerging Players
Coley sees the series as an opportunity for senior and emerging players to showcase their skills and build on the team's performance from last year and a half.
Series Schedule
The two-match Test series against Bangladesh will be played in Antigua on November 22 and 30.
