After losing the ODI series against Zimbabwe 3–2, Bangladesh hosted the West Indies in October for a T20I, three ODIs, and two Tests. In the second ODI, he scored his second half-century. He again came to the wicket with Bangladesh struggling and scored 50 from 54 deliveries.[16] In the final match of the ODI series, which Bangladesh lost 2–1, Hossain took his first wickets in the format.
