West Indies are without the likes of Sarwan, Chanderpaul and Gayle..
West Indies squad for the first Test Omar Phillips, Dale Richards, Floyd Reifer (capt), Travis Dowlin, Chadwick Walton (wk), Darren Sammy, Kemar Roach, Ryan Austin, Tino Best, Kevin McClean, Nelon Pascal, Andre Creary, Nikita Miller, Kraigg Brathwaite, David Bernard.
The players would be looking to make an impact and probably see themselves playing alongside the routine 11 sooner rather than later..
Bangladesh on the other hand are a more settled side just for the one change in Mortaza being the new captain after Ashraful was cleared of the job as it was affecting his batting form..
Squad Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Shakib Al Hasan, Mohammad Ashraful, Tamim Iqbal, Junaid Siddique, Imrul Kayes, Raqibul Hasan, Mehrab Hossain jnr, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shahadat Hossain, Enamul Haque jnr, Mahbubul Alam, Rubel Hossain, Saghir Hossain (wk).
2 spinners and 3 seamers will be their mode of operation, Mahmudullah and Shakib the spinners, Mortaza the senior pro, impressive Shahadat Hossain and the rookie Rubel Hossain who bowls really fast.. Batting looks settled with Tamim and Imrul at the top with Junaid, Ashraful to follow..
Shakib looks on as Ashraful looks up to his new captain
