West Indies to deploy 4 pacers against Bangladesh

Bangladesh is set to take on the West Indies in the first of two Tests in Antigua on Friday evening. 

The hosts are likely to replace Jason Holder and Gudakesh Motie with Justin Greaves and Alzarri Joseph as West Indies look to bolster their batting and fast bowling attack, Crickinfo reports. 

The pitch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium traditionally favours fast bowling, hence, the hosts' pick of pacers. There's, however, rain in the forecast on all five days around North Sound.

On the other hand, Litton Das will return to the side but there's going to be debate about who will get the other batting spot in the absence of Mushfiqur and Shanto.

Probable playing 11 are- 

West Indies: 1 Kraigg Brathwaite (capt), 2 Mikyle Louis, 3 Keacy Carty, 4 Alick Athanaze, 5 Kavem Hodge, 6 Justin Greaves, 7 Joshua Da Silva (wk), 8 Alzarri Joseph, 9 Jomel Warrican, 10 Jayden Seales, 11 Shamar Joseph

Bangladesh : 1 Mahmudul Hasan Joy, 2 Shadman Islam, 3 Zakir Hasan, 4 Mominul Haque, 5 Shahadat Hossain, 6 Litton Das (wk), 7 Jaker Ali, 8 Mehidy Hasan Miraz (capt), 9 Taijul Islam, 10 Nahid Rana, 11 Hasan Mahmud
