WEST INDIES manager Richie Richardson believes Bangladesh will be a difficult opponent for the regional team but is backing them to emerge victorious on their tour. Windies will take on the hosts in three One-Day Internationals, two Tests and a Twenty20. The regional squad, led by Darren Sammy, arrived in Bangladesh on Tuesday with Richardson revealing his predictions. “Bangladesh can be a tough side especially playing at home in favourable conditions. They are a force to be reckoned with and have some good players in their team. But we believe we can beat them. Our players are in good form and we are really looking forward to the series. I believe you will see an exciting brand of cricket from the West Indies team over the coming weeks,” he said. The former West Indies captain says the team has done their research and are confident in their abilities. “We expect a very competitive tour here in Bangladesh. We don’t expect it to be easy, but we know we have the players with the skills to come here and be successful and beat Bangladesh. We have done our homework. We will be ready for whatever combinations we come up against, be it spin or seam or pace,” he added. Richardson is looking to the team’s last meeting in March during the ICC World Cup earlier this year for inspiration and confidence. West Indies thrashed Bangladesh by nine wickets in the group stage with the Asians being bowled out for just 98 runs. “That result was uplifting for us. When we arrived in Dhaka, there was a lot of hype for that match and to win the way we did, dismissing Bangladesh in double figures, was a huge boost for the team. We played exceptionally well and that is the way we would like to play every game. We will draw on performances like that as we look to quickly get acclimatised to the foreign conditions,” he continued. The 49-year-old noted his team has brought several young players on the tour and says it is a good opportunity for them to showcase their skills. Limited-over squad: Darren Sammy (captain), Adrian Barath, Devendra Bishoo, Carlos Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Danza Hyatt, Anthony Martin, Kieron Pollard, Keiran Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach, Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels and Lendl Simmons. Test squad: Darren Sammy (captain), Adrian Barath, Carlton Baugh, Devendra Bishoo, Kraigg Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Fidel Edwards, Kirk Edwards, Keiran Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach, Marlon Samuels and Shane Shillingford. | |
