Skipper of the ICC trophy champions Bangladesh team Akram Khan lost the captaincy of the ACC bound team to his deputy Aminul Islam Bulbul and was also dropped from the squad just five weeks back.

Akram returned to the national team along with opener Harun-ur Rashid Liton and off spinner Fahim Muntasir Sumit. Brilliant national spinner cum hard hitting batsman Mohammad Rafique has, however, been dropped from the team due to injury.

Bangladesh will play their first day-night one-day match against the West Indies A at Bangabandhu National Stadium where the nine-day Wills International Cup concluded on November 1. The national team will play their second one-day match with the tourists in the northern city of Rajshahi on Monday, and the third and last one-dayer again in Dhaka on Tuesday.

The only three-day match between Bangladesh and the Caribbean team will be held Thursday-Saturday, also at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka.

The selected players have been asked to report to team coach Gordon Greenidge on Friday afternoon at Dhaka Sheraton Hotel. Local coach Jalal Ahmed Chowdhury will assist Gordon Greenidge, who reportedly tendered his resignation letter to the BCB and told his boys that he would not be available after January next. However, both Greenidge and BCB are saying nothing.

The Bangladesh national team:

Aminul Islam Bulbul (Captain), Jeved Omar Belim Gulla, Shahriar Hossain Biddyut, Faruque Ahmed, Al Shahriar Rokon, Khaled Mashud Pilot, Khaled Mahmood Sujon, Akram Khan, Hasibul Hossain Shanta, Shafiuddin Ahmed Babu, Morshed Ali Khan Sumon, Enamul Haq Moni, Hassanuzzaman Jhoru, Fahim Muntasir Sumit, Mushfiqur Rahman Babu and Harun-ur Rashid Liton.
