Tigers put WI in to bat in first Test

KINGSTOWN, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sept  5 (AFP): Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and put the West Indies in to bat on the opening day of the first match of the two-Test series at the Arnos Vale Stadium Friday.

West Indies omitted fast bowling all-rounder Jason Holder and spinner Shane Shillingford from the final XI and will therefore be relying again on Sulieman Benn as the frontline spinner, a role he performed admirably in the three-Test series against New Zealand two months ago.
