West Indies have named their squad for the upcoming three-match ODI and T20I series against Bangladesh Women, beginning on January 19 with the first ODI at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts. They have made two changes to the squad that played against India recently.
Fast bowler Shamilia Connell and middle-order batter Rashada Williams have been dropped from the squad that faced India. West Indies have handed a maiden ODI call-up to Jannillea Glasgow. Pacer Cherry-Ann Fraser has been called for both ODIs and T20Is. This will be the first-ever bilateral series between both teams, and this is also Bangladesh's first bilateral tour of West Indies.
"Bangladesh's visit comes at an ideal time in our preparation cycle. They're a skilled unit that has shown impressive growth, and this series gives us an excellent opportunity to examine our squad depth and continue to implement our aggressive, flamboyant brand of West Indian cricket," West Indies head coach Shane Deitz said.
"We have been focusing on specific areas of improvement in our training and touring, and these matches will help us gauge our progress. The conditions at Warner Park will challenge both teams and make for compelling cricket. I'm looking forward to seeing how some of our younger and less-experienced players respond to the test."
