Bangladesh’s performance in the Test format against West Indies was demoralizing, losing the series by a 2-0 margin. The Tigers T20I team needs to find a way to stop the Windies' aggression as well as to dominate them. Bangladesh’s target should be to clinch the BAN vs WI T20I Series 2022. Losing the series would be regarded as a failure for the Mahmudullah-led Bangladesh side. Let’s take a look at the five players from Bangladesh who could be vital in the Bangladesh versus West Indist T20I contest. 5 Key Bangladeshi players in T20 series against West Indies Bangladesh must follow the proper strategy in order to win the BAN vs WI T20I Series 2022. Besides, the players have to execute the plan on the field. In this case, some players have to play with a little more responsibility. The five Bangladeshi cricketers who could be important in the series against the West Indies are discussed in this article. Mahmudullah Riyad T20Is: 115 | Runs: 2,002 | HS: 64* | Ave: 23.83 | 50s: 6 | Wickets: 37 | BBI: 3/10 | Ave: 26.94 | Econ: 7.19 Captain Mahmudullah will be a crucial part of Bangladesh’s middle order. He must accept responsibility for hastening the death rate. Riyad can also be an effective breakthrough bowler when needed. Besides, all eyes will be on his captaincy, especially how he will lead the Bangladesh team. Since January 2021, Riyad has been Bangladesh's second-highest run-scorer in T20Is. Read Bangladesh’s T20I Fixtures Before the ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2022 Shakib Al Hasan T20Is: 96 | Runs: 1,908 | HS: 84 | Ave: 22.44 | 50s: 9 | Wickets: 119 | BBI: 5/20 | Ave: 19.88 | Econ: 6.67 | 5W: 1 There is no doubt that ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will be a vital player for Bangladesh in the upcoming BAN vs WI T20I Series 2022. Among the Bangladeshi players, Shakib has picked up the most wickets with 19 against West Indies in the T20 format. So, this stat will encourage him to perform even better in the series. Litton Das T20Is: 48 | Runs: 917 | HS: 61 | Ave: 19.93 | 50s: 5 Even though Litton’s performance in the recent Twenty20 Internationals hasn’t been so impressive, his experience will come in handy for Bangladesh during the series. In the absence of Mushfiqur Rahim and Tamim Iqbal, Litton will have to play the anchor role for the team. Read BAN vs WI Test Series 2022: How Bangladesh’s players performed against the Windies Mustafizur Rahman T20Is: 63 | Wickets: 87 | BBI: 5/22 | Ave: 19.65 | Econ: 7.57 | 5W: 1 Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman’s cutter delivery will be a major weapon to put West Indian batters under strain in the series. Mustafizur alone can take the game away from the West Indies team if he finds his best rhythm during the series. The recent record is also in Mustafizur’s favor as he has picked up the highest 29 wickets for Bangladesh since 2021. Nasum Ahmed T20Is: 20 | Wickets: 26 | BBI: 4/10 | Ave: 16.00 | Econ: 6.44 Left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed has been a revolution for Bangladesh in the T20 format since making his debut against New Zealand in March 2021. Nasum’s ability to read the batter's mind and intelligent bowling has been impressive. Captain Mahmudullah usually deploys Nasum at the start of the innings to put extra pressure on the batters. This crafty spinner has so far been a big success for Bangladesh in the game's shortest format. Read Bangladesh Suffer its 100 Test Defeats Bottom Line The West Indies’ recent Twenty20 form hasn’t been impressive. Some new players have been incorporated into the Caribbean T20 squad. The hosts are therefore now a less experienced team than they were before. Bangladesh should seize the opportunity and strive to come up with a plan of strategy that would allow them to outperform the Windies side in the BAN vs. WI T20I Series 2022. Bangladesh have the real potential to win the series if their players play to the best of their abilities.

The BAN vs WI Series 2022 has begun with Bangladesh losing the first Test by 7 wickets at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. By looking at the result, it seems like the game was closely contested between the two teams. However, the fact is that the visiting team’s performance was mostly disappointing. Their batting performance was unimpressive, with six batters dismissed for ducks early in the innings. In contrast, the bowlers performed well in both innings. How Bangladesh's players fared in the first Test is discussed in this article. The Performance of Bangladesh's Players in the First Test Captain Shakib Al Hasan's all-round performance in the series-opening match was one of the games' highlights for Bangladesh. Shakib scored fifty runs in both innings. He also put up a 100-run partnership with wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan Sohan for the seventh wicket in the second innings, which helped Bangladesh escape an innings loss. Bangladesh's bowlers performed admirably, dismissing the Windies for 265 runs in the first innings. They also picked up three West Indian wickets when the score was only nine in the second innings. Let's take a look at each Bangladeshi player's performance in the opening Test of the BAN vs WI Series 2022.

However, Tamim failed to fulfill his expectations in both innings. He made 29 in the first innings and 22 in the second innings. The southpaw had a start in each innings but couldn’t carry on to bat for a big score. On a personal level, Tamim became the second Bangladesh player to score 5,000 Test runs in this match. He needs to be more responsible in the second match. Mahmudul Hasan Joy Inn: 2 | Runs: 42 | HS: 42 The highly talented opener, Mahmudul Hasan, made a duck in the first innings. He was looking sharp in the second innings before losing his wicket to Kemar Roach. Joy played a very patient 42-run knock. Mahmudul Hasan has continued to impress the selectors with his sincerity with the bat. His perseverance and determination will be important for Bangladesh in the second Test. Read 2022 Wimbledon Championships: All You Need to Know Najmul Hossain Shanto Inn: 2 | Runs: 17 | HS: 17 Najmul Hasan is rated highly by the selectors. However, he hasn’t been consistent on the international scene, which is a major concern for him. Najmul made a duck in the first innings and notched 17 runs in the second innings. Mominul Haque Inn: 2 | Runs: 4 | HS: 4 The former Bangladesh Test captain, Mominul Haque, has been completely out of form, which is why the team has suffered a lot. He made a duck in the first innings and scored only four in the second innings. Maybe Mominul needs a break to regain his confidence. Read WI vs BAN 1st Test 2022: Shakib-Nurul's record partnership help Bangladesh avoid innings defeat Litton Das Inn: 2 | Runs: 29 | HS: 17 Litton’s recent Test form is the best among the Bangladesh batters. However, he hasn’t scored a fifty in the last six overseas innings, which is a big concern. In the first Test, Litton Das made 12 and 17. Shakib Al Hasan Inn: 2 | Runs: 114 | HS: 63 | Wkts: 1 | BBI: 1/48 Shakib Al Hasan’s performance with the bat was satisfactory. Shakib had no choice but to take an aggressive approach after a dismal show by the other batters. The ace all-rounder hit aggressive half-centuries in each innings of the match. He also picked a wicket in the first innings. Shakib was by far the best player for Bangladesh in the contest. Read IND vs SA 2022: India, South Africa Gear Up for T20I Series Decider Nurul Hasan Sohan   Inn: 2 | Runs: 64 | HS: 64 Wicket-keeper batter Nurul Hasan was one of the six batters who scored ducks in the first innings. However, Nurul didn’t waste the opportunity he got in the second innings. He played a 64-run knock in 147 deliveries and made a record 123-run stand with skipper Shakib Al Hasan for the seventh wicket. Nurul is considered the best keeper in Bangladesh. His performance with the gloves was also brilliant in the first match. Mehidy Hasan Miraz  Inn: 2 | Wkts: 4 | BBI: 4/59 Mehidy Miraz had a brilliant performance with the ball in the first innings. He picked up 4 wickets for 59 runs in the first innings. He was sent to bat at No.3 in the second innings but failed to contribute with the bat. Read Tigers left to rue dismal batting on day 1 Mustafizur Rahman  Inn: 2 | Wkts: 1 | BBI: 1/30 Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman made his Test return in this match. He only picked up one wicket in the match but created a lot of chances. Besides, he was the most economical bowler in the match. Ebadot Hossain  Inn: 2 | Wkts: 2 | BBI: 2/65 Ebadot picked two wickets in the first innings but remained wicketless in the second innings. He maintained less than 3 economy rates in the contest, which is a good thing. Read Sports organiser Sirajuddin M Alamgir receives "Doctor of Sports" degree from Indian private uni Khaled Ahmed  Inn: 2 | Wkts: 5 | BBI: 3/27 Bangladesh's most successful bowler in the match was pacer Khaled Ahmed. The right-arm pacer picked up five wickets in the contest. In particular, he put a lot of pressure on the West Indian batting line-up at the start of the second innings and removed three West Indian batters when the score was only 9. Aftermath The majority of the players had poor performances, which contributed to Bangladesh's lackluster performance in the first match of the BAN vs WI Series 2022. The Shakib-led team must formulate a good strategy for the second encounter. They must also put out their best effort in order to level the series. Bangladesh may need to make some changes to their playing XI for a competitive team. Read Stadium 974: FIFA’s Qatar World Cup 2022 brings world’s first transportable stadium

Bangladesh and the West Indies will begin their bilateral series with a two-match Test series on Thursday, June 16. The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua will host the first match of the Bangladesh vs West Indies Series 2022. Both sides will be without some important players due to injury and personal reasons, requiring other key members to shoulder more responsibility during the Test series. Bangladesh's problem has become even worse since Yasir Ali was forced to withdraw due to injury. The first match preview of BAN vs WI Series 2022 is discussed in this article. First Match Preview of the West Indies vs Bangladesh Test Series 2022 Bangladesh’s second-most success in the Test format has come against the West Indies side. Bangladesh have a record of winning both home and away series against the West Indies. There is a lot of anticipation in this two-match series to see whether the team Tigers can beat the Caribbean side in a bilateral contest for the second time away from home. The first match will start at 8 p.m. (Bangladesh Standard Time) on Thursday. Bangladesh Bangladesh’s main problem at the moment is batting. For personal reasons, Mushfiqur Rahim is not part of the series. Yasir Ali was supposed to replace Mushfiqur for the number 4 spot, but he got injured while playing the warm-up match. Two important batters in the middle order won’t play in the series. Read BAN vs WI 2022: Five Reasons Why Bangladesh Can Win the Test Series Against West Indies The team management has to find the best possible option from the squad to replace Yasir Ali. Nurul Hasan Sohan could be the best replacement for Yasir. Nurul had a relatively good outing in the practice match and he is currently the best wicket-keeper in the country. Bangladesh need Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das to take extra responsibility in batting. In bowling, Shakib Al Hasan and Taijul Islam will have to shoulder the bulk of the responsibilities. The West Indian batting line-ups will be under a lot of strain if both of them find their rhythm during the BAN vs WI Series 2022. Besides, if the pace bowling unit finds good assistance from the Caribbean wickets, that will aid Bangladesh to put pressure on the West Indies side. Predicted playing XI Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (Captain), Nurul Hasan Sohan (Wicket-Keeper), Mosaddek Hossain, Taijul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Ebadot Hossain, Khaled Ahmed. Read Bangladesh vs West Indies Test Series 2022: Major Highlights of the Warm-Up Match West Indies West Indies Captain Kraigg Brathwaite and wicket-keeper batter Joshua da Silva had brilliant outings in the England series. They will be their main players in the batting line-up as the other batters struggled in the last series. The middle-orders need to show their true potential against Bangladesh's bowling line-up. In bowling, Kemar Roach’s participation in the first Test is subject to his fitness, while Jason Holder will miss the entire Bangladesh series. So, the other bowlers need to step up and, thankfully, some of them had fantastic performances against England. Raymon Reifer, Jayden Seales, and Alzarri Joseph can all be devastating against Bangladesh batting line-ups. Predicted Playing XI Kraigg Brathwaite (Captain), John Campbell, Nkruma Bonner, Jermaine Blackwood, Kyle Mayers, Joshua Da Silva (Wicket-Keeper), Devon Thomas, Raymon Reifer, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales.

The wicket may aid fast bowlers, but the toss-winning captain should bat first to put up a huge first-inning total on this pitch. Bottom Line The opening Test match of the BAN vs WI series 2022 is vital in determining the contest's final outcome. The winner of the first match in the series will have an advantage going into the second match. Therefore, both teams will need a flawless game plan and execution on the field. Bangladesh's main challenge will be to form partnerships in the middle, and for that, senior members will need to be more cautious in their approach. On the other hand, the Caribbean team is full of confidence after recently winning a series against England at home.

Shakib Al Hasan has taken over as captain after Mominul Haque was stripped of his duties. Will Bangladesh be able to overcome the West Indies and make a big comeback? The Tigers should be confident in their ability to exert pressure on the Caribbean side, as they have a number of talented players on their squad. Let's look at five players with better records against the West Indies and who might make a difference in the BAN vs WI Test series 2022. Five Crucial Players for Bangladesh in the BAN vs WI Test Series 2022 Some Bangladesh players will have to shoulder extra responsibilities in order to win the Test series against the Caribbean team. Let's have a look at five Bangladesh players who might make an impact in the Test series against the West Indies. Tamim Iqbal Test Inn: 24 | Runs: 853 | HS: 128 | Ave: 35.54 | 100s: 1 Tamim Iqbal will be the most important player in batting for Bangladesh in the upcoming series as he has to play the anchor role. Bangladesh need to stay at the crease as long as possible to ensure Tamim gets a commanding total on board. Read WI vs BAN Test Series 2022: Who has better record? His record against the West Indies is the best among the Bangladesh players. Tamim has 427 runs in 12 innings in the West Indies, which is the most by any Bangladesh batter. The charismatic left-hander needs to continue his good run of form in the forthcoming series. Shakib Al Hasan Test Match: 11 | Runs: 813 | HS: 97 | Ave: 45.16 | 100s: 0 | Wickets: 46 | BBI: 6/33 | Ave: 24.54 | 5Ws: 3 Shakib Al Hasan has a great record against the West Indies, both as a player and as a captain.

Read ICC Player of the Month for May 2022: Check Out the Nominees Litton Das Test Inn: 9 | Runs: 326 | HS: 71 | Ave: 36.22 | 100s: 0 Litton Das’s Test record against West Indies hasn’t been impressive, but he has the potential to improve his record. Litton has been in outstanding form since 2021 and has become a more mature batter, especially in the longer-version format. In the absence of Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton has to take extra responsibility to strengthen the Bangladesh middle-order. Taijul Islam Test Match: 7 | Wickets: 33 | BBI: 6/33 | Ave: 26.30 | 5Ws: 2 Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam has been the main strike bowler for Bangladesh in the last two years in the Test format. He is the only Bangladeshi bowler who has taken 8 wickets in an innings. Taijul Islam has bagged 11 wickets in 3 matches on West Indian soil. His spin bowling could cause problems for the West Indian batting line-up. Therefore, Taijul could be a real difference-maker for Bangladesh. Read Joe Root Reaches 10,000 Runs Milestone as England win First Test Against New Zealand Mustafizur Rahman Test Match: 2 | Wickets: 2 | BBI: 2/46 | Ave: 66.00 | 5Ws: 0 The cutter-master, Mustafizur Rahman,’s record against the West Indies is very poor. However, Mustafizur is the most reliable bowler among the pacers, especially in the absence of Shoriful Islam and Taskin Ahmed. Mustafizur’s experience will be crucial, and he needs to step up for Bangladesh to provide important breakthroughs when needed.  Aftermath It's never easy to perform on a consistent basis away from home. Therefore, expecting a strong display from the majority of Bangladesh's players is unrealistic. Players with a better record in the West Indies can make a big impact for Bangladesh in the BAN vs WI Test series 2022. Read ENG vs NZ First Test 2022: England Seize Control of Series Opening Match

The Bangladesh national cricket team will travel to the West Indies in June to play a bilateral series against the host Caribbean side. Bangladesh will play three series: Tests, One-Day Internationals, and Twenty-20 Internationals. The Test series will be part of the ICC's Test Championship, whereas the one-day series will not be part of the Cricket World Cup Super League. The Twenty20 International series will serve as a warm-up for the impending Twenty20 World Cup 2022. Take a look at the Tigers' Test, ODI, and T20I squads, as well as the full Bangladesh vs West Indies Series 2022 schedule. Bangladesh's Squads for the West Indies Tour 2022 Bangladesh will play the West Indies in a two-match Test series during their next tour. In addition, the three-match ODI and T20I series will be crucial in helping them improve their current rankings. Bangladesh have a chance to leapfrog West Indies in the Test Championship points standings if they whitewash the hosts in the series. The Tigers are in the eighth position with 16.67 percent, while the West Indies are in the seventh position with 35.71 percent. So, the Mominul Haque-led Bangladesh Test team should come up with a better strategy in order to unsettle the Caribbean side. Despite this, the visitors will face a monumental task given their recent Test performances. In addition, Mominul Haque’s performances both as skipper and batter have been under the radar. Read Is Mominul doing enough as Test Captain? The selectors picked five pacers, including Mustafizur Rahman, for the Test series. Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam were both dropped due to injury, while off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz returned to the squad. Apart from that, veteran batsman Mushfiqur Rahim made himself unavailable to take part in the Hajj pilgrimage.

Under his leadership, the Tigers recently beat the Proteas 2-1 in an ODI series away from home. So, the expectation is really high from the ODI side compared to the other two formats. Bangladesh did win a bilateral ODI series in the West Indies in 2018 and there is no reason why they wouldn’t be able to repeat the same in the upcoming series. Besides, Bangladesh have a chance to improve their rankings to sixth position if they whitewash the West Indies and Pakistan lose their next series against the Caribbean side.
