The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the squad for the two ICC World Test Championship (WTC) matches against the West Indies.

Wicket-keeper batter Mushfiqur Rahim will not be able to play the Test series following a fracture in the tip of his left index finger during the ongoing Afghanistan ODI series.

Mahidul Islam Ankon, who played the second Test against South Africa recently, has been included in the squad in Mushfiqur's absence.

Bangladesh dropped spinner Nayeem Hasan while pacer Shoriful Islam returned back to the squad after sitting out the Tests in India and home series against South Africa.

The first Test gets underway on November 22 in Antigua while the second match starts on 30 November in Jamaica.

The squads for the ODIs, slated for December 8, 10 and 12 respectively the three T20Is slated for December 15, 17 and 19, are yet to be announced.
