West Indies include Fraser and Glasgow for upcoming series Against Bangladesh

New Delhi: West Indies have given call-ups to Cherry Ann Fraser and Jannillea Glasgow for their upcoming white-ball series against Bangladesh, happening from January 19-31 at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts.

The newly-selected duo are coming off after having successful stints in state cricket with Tasmania team in Australia, and replace Rashada Willams and Shamilia Connell in the squad led by all-rounder Hayley Matthews.

“Bangladesh’s visit comes at an ideal time in our preparation cycle. They’re a skilled unit that has shown impressive growth, and this series gives us an excellent opportunity to examine our squad depth and continue to implement our aggressive, flamboyant brand of West Indian cricket.

“We have been focusing on specific areas of improvement in our training and touring, and these matches will help us gauge our progress. The conditions at Warner Park will challenge both teams and make for compelling cricket. I’m looking forward to seeing how some of our younger and less-experienced players respond to the test,” said head coach Shane Deitz.

The three ODIs and as many T20Is marks the first-ever women’s bilateral series between West Indies and Bangladesh, and is also Bangladesh’s first tour of the Caribbean for a series. The two teams last met in the group stage of the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the UAE on October 10, where West Indies beat Bangladesh by eight wickets at Sharjah. IANS
