Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo said right-handed batter Anamul Haque Bijoy needs to wait more before making a comeback to the ODI side. Anamul played one Test and three ODIs during Bangladesh’s ongoing tour of the West Indies but failed to impress. The right-handed batter scored more than 1100 runs in the last edition of the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League, the most prestigious 50-over event, in Bangladesh which helped him to make a comeback to the national team after a long gap.  Read: Anamul returns to Bangladesh team after 8 years “It’s tricky (to not play Anamul),” Domingo said. “He has done really well. But we need to have a left-hander in the side against the West Indies.” After the second victory in the ODI series, Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal said that they are willing to test their bench strength in the last match, but the opinion of the head coach expressed the other idea. Bangladesh won the series with victories in the first two matches. They now got a great chance to clean sweep the hosts. Along with Anamul, Taijul Islam and Ebadot Hossain are the other players who are yet to feature in an ODI in this series. And the hope is really slim for them to get a chance in the final match which is set to take place Saturday at Providence Stadium, Guyana.   Although Bangladesh did well in the ODI series, they have lost all the Tests and T2oIs in this series ahead of the ODIs. 

Bangladesh sealed their sixth bilateral ODI series against the West Indies with a 9-wicket victory in the second match of the WI vs BAN ODI Series 2022. The Tigers are now eying to complete their third whitewash against the Caribbean side when both teams meet each other in the third ODI on Saturday (July 16). Besides, finishing the Caribbean tour on a high note would be a major priority for the Bangladesh campaign. The conditions will suit the Bangladesh players as the Providence Stadium assists the spinners to thrive. The third ODI match preview is discussed in this article. West Indies vs Bangladesh ODI Series 2022: 3rd Match Preview The bowling unit did the job for Bangladesh in the first two matches. More precisely, the spinners have been outstanding and exploited the Providence ground surfaces very well. Oppositely, the West Indian batting unit has found no clue in dealing with Bangladesh spinners. Therefore, the battle between Caribbean batters and Bangladesh spinners will determine the final outcome of the contest. The third match of the WI vs BAN ODI Series 2022 will be played at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on July 16 and will start at 7.30 p.m. (Bangladesh Standard Time). Bangladesh Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal wants to give other players in the squad a chance in the third ODI. Therefore, two or three changes may occur in Bangladesh's playing XI for Saturday’s contest. Bangladesh are unlikely to rest any spinners for the match, as they are the team's main weapons in this WI vs BAN ODI Series 2022. Therefore, Taskin, Ebadot, and Anamul may be included in place of Mustafizur, Shoriful, and Shanto. Read Sabbir, Soumya added to Bangladesh A team for WI tour Bangladesh had chased down low totals in the first two matches, so the batters haven’t gotten enough chances to bat in this series. Tamim Iqbal may opt to bat first in the final match of the series in order to allow the batters to bat deep in the match. Probable playing XI Top-Order: Tamim Iqbal (captain), Anamul Haque, Litton Das, Middle-Order: Mahmudullah Riyad, Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan Sohan (wicket-keeper), Mosaddek Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Lower-Order: Taskin Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Nasum Ahmed West Indies The Caribbean team has struggled to perform in the ODI format in recent years. They have lost 10 straight ODI matches against Bangladesh. The venue of the WI vs BAN ODI series 2022, the Providence ground, is known for its slowest nature of wicket and the West Indian batters are not well adept at playing the spinners. Therefore, West Indian batters have found it difficult to deal with Bangladesh spinners in this ongoing ODI series. Read Bangladesh's Shohidul gets 10-month ban for failing dope test In the third ODI, the batting unit needs to show that they are capable of playing spin bowling. The team management needs to chalk out a better strategy to outperform the Bangladesh side during the contest. Besides, the players have to respond to the match as per the plan. Probable Playing XI  Top-Order: Shai Hope (wicket-keeper), Kyle Mayers, Shamarh Brooks, Middle-Order: Keacy Carty, Nicholas Pooran (captain), Rovman Powell, Akeal Hosein, Keemo Paul, Lower-Order: Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie Guyana’s Pitch Report and Weather There is a possibility of rain with thunderstorms on Saturday (July 16) in Georgetown, Guyana. The sky is likely to remain partly cloudy as well. Since the chasing team won the first two matches, the toss-winning captain may opt to bat second on this surface in the third ODI. Read BAN vs WI 2022: Tamim equals Mashrafe’s record with ODI series win over Windies Verdict The third match of the WI vs BAN ODI Series 2022 would be a dead-rubber contest since Bangladesh have already sealed the series. However, Bangladesh wouldn’t let a chance to whitewash the West Indian side in the series pass them by. Therefore, they will be all-in for the contest. On the other hand, the West Indies team will play to restore some pride. They will play to win the match and finish the series 2-1.

Batters  Sabbir Rahman and Soumya Sarkar, who lost the national team place for their lean performance in the international arena, have been added to Bangladesh A team that will tour the West Indies next month.  Sabbir played his last international match against Afghanistan in Chattogram back in September 2019, while Soumya’s last match was against Australia in Dubai in 2021. Now both the batters get a new chance to revive their international career. If they can do well in the forthcoming tour, the first in many years, of the Bangladesh A team, they might get a call to the national team in the coming years.  Along with them, Mohammad Mithun and Saif Hassan will also tour the West Indies for Bangladesh A. Both Mithun and Saif failed to impress when they played in the national team for the last time.  Bangladesh A team will arrive in St Lucia on July 31, and they will play two four-day matches and three one-dayers. All the matches will be played at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground.  Read: Bangladesh's Shohidul gets 10-month ban for failing dope test  The first four-day match will begin on August 4 while the second one will commence on August 7. The one-dayers are scheduled to be played on August 16, 18 and 20.  Bangladesh A team for four-day matches:  Shadman Islam, Saif Hassan, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan, Mohammad Mithun, Fazle Rabbi Mahmud, Shahadat Hossain Dipu, Zaker Ali Anik, Naeem Hasan, Tanvir Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Rejaur Rahman Raja, Mukidul Islam Mugdho, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, Anamul Haque Bangladesh A team for one-day matches:  Soumya Sarkar, Saif Hassan, Mohammad Naim, Mohammad Mithun, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan, Shahadat Hossain Dipu, Zaker Ali Anik, Sabbir Rahman, Naeem Hasan, Rakibul Hasan, Rejaur Rahman Raja, Khaled Ahmed, Mukidul Islam Mugdho, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury

Bangladesh's right-arm pacer Shohidul Islam has been suspended from all cricket-related activities for 10 months after pleading guilty to breaching Article 2.1 of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Anti-Doping Code. On March 4, 2022, the 27-year-old fast bowler provided a urine sample as part of the ICC's out-of-competition testing programme in Dhaka, which was found to contain Clomifene. Clomifene is classified as a specified substance under World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list and is prohibited both in-competition and out-of-competition. Shohidul admitted the violation and accepted a 10-month suspension. The ban is backdated to May 28, 2022, the date of his acceptance of a voluntary provisional suspension. He will be eligible to return to cricket on March 28, 2023. READ: Bangladesh's Shohidul gets 10-month ban for failing dope test  The ICC accepted that Shohidul had demonstrated no significant fault or negligence, having inadvertently ingested the prohibited substance which was contained in the medicine he had been legitimately prescribed for therapeutic reasons. Shohidul was able to satisfy the ICC that he had no intention to enhance his sporting performance by using prohibited substances. However, the 27-year-old accepted that he had failed to satisfy the high levels of personal responsibility incumbent upon him as an international cricketer subject to anti-doping rules. Shohidul played a T20I for Bangladesh. He has been doing well in the domestic arena for the last few years. He picked up 93 wickets in first-class cricket.

The Tamim Iqbal-led Bangladesh national men’s cricket team sealed the 3-match ODI series against West Indies after winning the second match by 9 wickets on Wednesday (July 14) at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. Besides, captain Tamim Iqbal has also equaled Mashrafe Mortaza's record by winning the series. Now, Bangladesh's aim in the BAN vs WI 2022 ODI series is to whitewash the Caribbean side. The third match will be held on July 16 (Saturday) at the same venue. West Indies vs Bangladesh Second ODI 2022: Match Report Bangladesh chased down West Indies’ 108 runs in 20.4 overs, with captain Tamim Iqbal scoring the highest of 50* for his side. Bangladesh only lost Najmul Hossain Shanto’s (20) wicket, who opened the innings with Tamim in this encounter. Litton Das came out to bat at no.3 and remained unbeaten with 32*, securing Bangladesh’s 9-wicket victory in the match. The Bangladesh skipper, Tamim Iqbal didn't think twice to bat first after winning the toss since it was anticipated that spinners would flourish on the Providence stadium pitch. Furthermore, it was taken into account that the Windies batters were inept against the Bangladesh spinners in the first game. Taskin Ahmed was even dropped by Bangladesh team management so that there would be room for another spinner in the playing XI. Read Bangladesh bowl first in 2nd ODI vs West Indies Mosaddek Hossain replaced Taskin Ahmed in the playing XI. Tamim fully utilized the right-hand spinner by handing him the new ball to bowl the first over. Mosaddek completed his 10 overs within the first 25 overs and even gave Bangladesh the first breakthrough in the 11th over. On the other hand, left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed put immense pressure on the West Indian batting line-up and eventually finished his spell with 10-4-19-3. Off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz was the most successful bowler, picking up 4 wickets for 29 runs. Bangladesh’s spinners did all the damage in the West Indies innings as Mosaddek, Nasum, and Mehidy combined to bowl 28 overs out of 35. Shoriful bowled 3 overs and picked up a wicket, while Mustafizur bowled 4 overs. Keemo Paul was the top scorer for the West Indies with 25. Tamim Iqbal Equals Mashrafe Mortaza's Record Veteran opener Tamim Iqbal has been doing a brilliant job since becoming ODI captain of Bangladesh. Under his leadership, Bangladesh have won five straight ODI series. Prior to him, the Mashrafe-led Bangladesh ODI team had won five straight ODI series from 2015 to 2016. Therefore, Tamim Iqbal has equaled the record of Mashrafe Mortaza by winning five straight ODI series as a captain.

The West Indian batters appear completely clueless against the Bangladeshi Spinners in the BAN vs WI 2022 ODI series. Bangladesh bowlers have dominated the Caribbean side and it will continue as the Providence Stadium in Guyana will host the third ODI as well. Besides, Tamim can improve his win/loss ratio as captain even further if he guides Bangladesh to whitewash the Caribbean team in the ongoing limited-overs series.

Left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed won the player of the match award in his second ODI match, as Bangladesh beat the West Indies by nine wickets to win the ODI series Wednesday at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. Bangladesh won the first ODI at the same venue by six wickets. "The dressing room wasn't the happiest (after the Tests and T20Is), but everyone was eager to win. It feels great to win, but there is still room for improvement. And we need to tick more boxes," Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal told the media. Nasum bagged three wickets after Bangladesh chose to bowl first. The Tigers managed to restrict their hosts to 108/10 in 35 overs. Nicholas Pooran, West Indian captain, made a golden duck. Keemo Paul, the number eight batter, scored the most runs (25) for the hosts. Read: Shakib to skip West Indies ODIs, Zimbabwe tour In the absence of Shakib Al Hasan, right-arm all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz bowled superbly, picking up four wickets and conceding only 29 runs in eight overs. In reply to the West Indies' 108, Bangladesh won the match in just 20.4 overs, with Tamim scoring an unbeaten 50, and Liton Das 32. The visitors did not include Anamul Haque in the team. The right-handed batter did well in the 50-over format at the domestic level but failed to bring his form to the international format. He played five innings in the ongoing tour and managed to pass the 20-run mark only once.

Australia is likely to get the competition points from a cancelled three-game limited-overs international series after South Africa withdrew because of a crammed schedule and the launch of its domestic Twenty20 competition. Cricket Australia on Wednesday said the scheduled ODIs in January in Hobart, Sydney and Perth against South Africa had been scrapped and dates and venues for other international matches were revised. The ODI series was to be part of the International Cricket Council’s Super League which determines direct qualification for the 50-over World Cup in 2023. “Given these games will not be played before the qualification cut-off date in May, (South Africa) has agreed that Australia will be awarded the competition points pending ICC approval,” Cricket Australia said in a statement. Read: WI vs BAN ODI Series 2022: Bangladesh have highest winning percentage in Guyana Cricket South Africa is set to launch at new domestic Twenty20 league in January and wanted its leading players available for the tournament. Australia will host South Africa in a three-test series starting in Brisbane on Dec. 17 and scheduled to end in Sydney on Jan. 8. Before then, Australia will host Zimbabwe, New Zealand, West Indies and England in white-ball series from late August ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup from Oct. 16-Nov. 13. The Australians will then play England in a three-game ODI series and West Indies in a two-test series in Perth and Adelaide. Australia’s men’s team returned this week from a tour to Sri Lanka that included Twenty20 and one-day international series and two test matches.

Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl first in the second ODI of the three-match series against the West Indies on Wednesday in Providence Stadium, Guyana. The visitors overlooked Taskin Ahmed to pave the way for Mosaddek Hossain to the playing XI. Bangladesh won the first match of the series, and they now got a chance to win the ODI series on Wednesday. Ahead of the ODI series, Bangladesh played against the hosts in a two-match Test and three-match T20I series, and Bangladesh lost both series. Read:WI vs BAN 2nd ODI 2022: Resurgent Bangladesh aim for series win Bangladesh won five of their last six ODI series including the one against South Africa in South Africa. For various reasons, the visitors are missing the service of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim— Bangladesh’s two mainstays in the format. It came as a great chance for the Tigers to test their bench strength. Anamul Haque has to wait for more to make a comeback to ODIs. The right-handed batter did well in the 50-over format at the domestic level but failed to bring his form to the international format. He played five innings in the ongoing tour and managed to pass the 20-run mark only once, which made the team management keep him out of the ODI setup in this series.

India have made a tremendous comeback in the limited-overs series under Rohit Sharma's leadership after drawing the Test series with England. The Indian side sealed the T20I series 2-1 against England. They now have a 1-0 lead in the ODI format series over the hosts after clinching the first match by 10 wickets at the Oval in London. The visiting side has a chance to wrap up the ODI series if they win the ENG vs IND 2nd ODI 2022 on Thursday (July 14) at the Lord’s cricket ground.

England vs India Second ODI 2022: Match Preview The second match of the ongoing ODI series between England and India will be held at the iconic Lord’s cricket ground in London on July 14.

The hosts were all-out for only 110 runs, which the Indian openers — Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan comfortably chased down in 18.4 overs. The first match didn’t go as planned for the English team. They will surely try to make a strong statement in the ENG vs IND 2nd ODI 2022 at Lord’s. England have a quality bowling attack to defend a challenging total. Therefore, English batters need to showcase their true ability against India’s bowling line-up in the second match to put up a big total in their innings. Read West Indies beat Bangladesh to sweep T20 series Probable Playing XI (English) Top-Order: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root; Middle-Order: Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (captain & wicket-keeper), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran; Lower-Order: David Willey, Brydon Carse, Reece Topley. India Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami rattled England’s batting line-up in the first match of the ODI series. Bumrah, in particular, was ruthless, picking up his career-best figure of 6/19 in the contest. He also surpassed Ashish Nehra’s 6/23 to have the best ODI bowling figure between these two teams. Both Bumrah and Shami will once again be key bowlers for India in the ENG vs IND 2nd ODI 2022 at Lord’s. In the first match, Rohit and Shikhar did the job for India in batting. Therefore, other batters didn't get a chance to bat in the match. The batting unit needs to be well prepared for the second ODI as the English team is likely to play hard in Thursday’s encounter. Virat Kohli could return in the second match after missing the series opener due to an injury.

London’s weather forecast & toss prediction According to the weather report, Thursday in London is expected to be mostly bright and comfortable. Therefore, it will be a wonderful day to hold a cricket match. Nine ODIs have been played since 2017 at Lord's, and seven of them have been won by the team that batted first. That is why the captain who wins the toss may decide to bat first. Bottom Line The Rohit Sharma-led Indian side has performed to their full potential in the limited-overs series against England. India were the better side in the T20 series, and it seems they are favourites to clinch the ODI series as well. However, England are a very competitive team across all formats and they have the ability to make a strong comeback on any given day. As a result, Indian players must be more committed in the ENG vs IND 2nd ODI 2022. On the other hand, England's players have to showcase their true prowess in Thursday’s do-or-die contest in order to stay alive in the series.   Read WI vs BAN ODI Series 2022: Bangladesh have highest winning percentage in Guyana
