The whole Windies side came to Bangladesh on 10th January and passed three-day isolation in the team hotel. After that they had few trainings before the ODI series. So, they are coping up with the condition and Cornwell, who took 13 wickets from 3 Tests, said the pitches are little drier from their home soil.
“Yes, it [training for long period] is helping. You have to adapt to this condition. It is difficult to play cricket in this condition. Not too much [the pitch condition], here the ball spins a little more. A little drier here than in the Caribbean. We have to adapt to it and give our best.”
The first Test will be played on January 3 in Chattogram and then the teams will fly back to Dhaka to play the second Test from 11th January.
