Tigers\\\' coming Test series

The Tigers brace for a big challenge as they get prepared to face the West Indies in two Test-match series. They have lost badly in the three-match One-day series. The first Test match takes place on September 5 next. The Tigers will get sometime before regrouping themselves so that they can face the challenging task.

Playing in fast and lively pitches outside the sub-continent is always challenging for a team from the region and we are no exception. The Tigers are without their best all-rounder Sakib Al Hasan. His exclusion has created a negative impact on the minds of the players. But we should not depend on any individual player as cricket is a team game. One expects that in the coming Test matches the batsmen will raise their collective performance so that we have a chance to compete with the West Indies. Our fielding also needs to improve.  

We wish the Tigers best of luck.
