Two new faces in Windies squad to face Bangladesh

The West Indies have made significant changes to their 14-man squad for the first two One-Day Internationals against Bangladesh. The Windies are still without key players such as Chris Gayle due to the board's ongoing dispute with the West Indies Players' Association, but the squad has been strengthened by the return of several players. Opening batsmen Devon Smith and Andre Fletcher return along with the uncapped left-hander Kieran Powell. Leg-spinner Rawl Lewis is also back in the squad, while uncapped fast-medium bowler Gavin Tonge is another new addition. Ryan Austin, Tino Best, Ryan Hinds, Kevin McClean and Omar Phillips make way, with the bulk of the squad still made up of those who lost the Test series to The Tigers. The first two ODIs will take place in Dominica on Sunday and Tuesday, with the series concluding next Friday in St Kitts. The sides will then play a Twenty20 match in St Kitts two days later. Squad: Floyd Reifer (captain), Darren Sammy (vice captain), Dave Bernard Jr, Travis Dowlin, Andre Fletcher, Rawl Lewis, Nikita Miller, Nelon Pascal, Kieran Powell, Dale Richards, Kemar Roach, Devon Smith, Devon Thomas, Gavin Tonge.
