Veteran batter Mushfiqur Rahim and Taskin Ahmed returned to the XI as Bangladesh lost the toss and were sent to bowl first by the West Indies in the second and final Test at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

Mushfiqur could not play the first match after hurting his index finger the day before the game. He has recovered and slotted into the XI in place of Mominul Haque, who was substituted after a concussion in the previous Test and was unavailable for selection due to concussion protocols.

Taskin, meanwhile, comes in for left-arm seamer Shoriful Islam as Bangladesh decided to carry on with the three-spin trio of Taijul Islam, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Nayeem Hasan.

The hosts had lost the opening Test by eight wickets and need a victory to level the series.

West Indies also made two changes, replacing John Campbell and Tegnarine Chanderpaul, who are both down with a viral fever, with Joshua Da Silva and Kevin Wickham, who will be on debut.
