The West Indies cricket team are touring Bangladesh in January and February 2021 to play two Tests and three One Day International (ODI) matches.[1][2] The Test series will form part of the inaugural 2019–21 ICC World Test Championship and the ODI series will form part of the inaugural 2020–23 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[3][4]
On 29 December 2020, Cricket West Indies announced their squads for the tour, with Kraigg Brathwaite and Jason Mohammed named as captains for the Test and ODI matches respectively.[5] Regular Test and ODI captains Jason Holder and Kieron Pollard were two of ten players who opted not to travel due to COVID-19 concerns or personal reasons.[6] Shakib Al Hasan was named in Bangladesh's ODI squad, after serving a year-long ban for failing to report a corrupt approach.[7]
The first ODI saw seven cricketers make their debut in the format, six of them for the West Indies.[8] Bangladesh won the opening match by six wickets, with more than 16 overs to spare.[9] Bangladesh won the second ODI by seven wickets to take an unassailable lead in the series.[10] Bangladesh won the third and final ODI by 120 runs, taking the series 3–0.[11]
Background
Originally, the tour was scheduled to have three Tests, three ODIs and two Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[12] In October 2020, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced that the Bangabandhu T20 Cup would be used as the criteria to select players for the T20I matches.[13][14] In November 2020, the BCB sent details of their bio-bubble plan to Cricket West Indies (CWI).[15] Officials from CWI visited Bangladesh during November and December 2020, and reported that they were "very impressed" with the COVID-19 protocols in the country.[16]
In November 2020, the two cricket boards also looked at the possibility of reducing the tour by one Test match, per a request that was made by the West Indies.[17] In December 2020, both cricket boards agreed to play two Test matches instead of three,[18] and dropped the T20I fixtures from the tour itinerary.[19] On 10 January 2021, the BCB updated the tour itinerary, including changing the start times of the ODI matches and reducing the four-day tour match to a three-day fixture.[20]
Bangladesh does not have any umpires on the Elite Panel of ICC Umpires.[21] As a result, England's Richard Illingworth was named as one of the umpires for the Test matches, the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic that a neutral umpire was named for a Test series.[22]
