Bangladesh wins toss and opts to bowl against West Indies in first test

NORTH SOUND, Antigua (AP) — Bangladesh won the toss Friday and chose to bowl in the first of two tests against the West Indies.

Bangladesh is coming off a 2-0 series defeat to South Africa last month, which included a defeat by an innings and 273 runs inside three days.

The West Indies haven’t played test cricket since August, when they lost a series 1-0 to South Africa. They went with a four-man pace attack in sunny conditions at North Sound.
