New Zealand v West Indies - 2nd Test: Day 4

Bangladesh A are all set to tour West Indies A for two unofficial Test matches and a three-match T20 series this month. The first unofficial Test commences on Thursday, August 4 in St Lucia.

The Bangladesh A side will be keen to do well in these tough conditions and a few players that featured in the senior side's series will take part once again.
