The Bangladeshis will play two Tests and three one-dayers during their month-long tour, which kicks off with back-to-back one-dayers in St Vincent on May 15 and 16. The third game is in Grenada on May 19 before the two Tests on May 28 and June 4.
As well as those games, the Bangladeshis, led by Kazi Habibul Bashar, will play two matches against a West Indian board XI. The first is a one-day game in St Vincent on May 12, and the other a three-day match in Grenada, starting on May 22.
Squads for both games have been announced, with Wavell Hinds and Jermaine Lawson continuing their way back from injuries. Sylvester Joseph, who played in the first one-dayer against England, along with Dwayne Smith and Devon Smith, who both played in the Test series, were also included in the squads. The manager and coach of the two teams will be announced at a later date.
