Kraigg Brathwaite will captain a 15-member West Indies squad for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, both fixtures being part of the World Test Championship (WTC).

The team will be without former captain and pace all-rounder Jason Holder, who is still recovering from a shoulder injury.

The squad features a compelling mix of experienced players and promising newcomers. Among them is the in-form Justin Greaves, whose outstanding performances in domestic white-ball cricket have earned him a place to bolster the batting lineup.

Additionally, Kevin Sinclair makes his return to the squad, adding depth in the spin department.

Currently, Bangladesh and West Indies occupy the 8th and 9th spots on the WTC standings, with point percentages of 27.50 and 18.52, respectively.

The series begins on November 22 in North Sound, followed by the second Test in Kingston.

Test Squad:

Kraigg Brathwaite (c), Joshua Da Silva (vc), Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Justin Greaves, Kavem Hodge, Tevin Imlach, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Mikyle Louis, Anderson Phillip, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Kevin Sinclair, Jomel Warrican
