DHAKA:
West Indies team manager Richie Richardson has promised exciting cricket and a series of close contests during his team’s tour in Bangladesh due to kick off on October 13.
The team, led by all-rounder Darren Sammy, arrived in Dhaka to play two Tests, three one-day internationals and a one-off Twenty20 match.
“We expect a very competitive tour here in Bangladesh. We don’t expect it to be easy,” said former skipper Richardson.
“But we know we have the players with the skills to come here and be successful and beat Bangladesh. I believe you will see an exciting brand of cricket from the West Indies team over the coming weeks.”
