Caribbean’s head coach Phil Simmons considers host Bangladesh as his favorites for the upcoming three-match ODI series. West Indies are starting preparations for the 2023 World Cup with this series as both teams are starting ODI Super League as well.

Windies have brought a relatively young team to this tour. Simmons is hopeful the youngsters on his team will seize the opportunity.

"Bangladesh is a clear favorite because they play well at home. We can't disagree with that. I've been here before with a different team. We got a good ODI pitch here before, we are hoping for a good pitch in this series too.” Simmons said during a video conference with media on Tuesday.
