'We will fight all the way' - Whatmore

Dav Whatmore, the Bangladesh coach, believes that his team can record their maiden Test win on their tour to the West Indies. Speaking to the media on the eve of the squad's departure to the Caribbean, Whatmore said: "We are capable of beating any side in the world. We are prepared to fight all the way."

And how exactly would Bangladesh topple West Indies? Whatmore had his plans ready: "West Indies is still weak against spin attack. That's why we picked three spinners."

Bangladesh have only drawn two out of 28 Tests - both of which were affected by inclement weather - while their one-day record is equally abysmal - four wins in 85 matches.

Their West Indies tour starts with a match against the Board President's XI on May 12, while the first of three one-dayers will be held on May 15 in St Vincent. The first match of the two-Test series starts on May 28 in St Lucia.
