Bangladesh spin strategy questioned after Mirpur loss against West Indies

The Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur hosted the opening Test of West Indies' tour of Bangladesh, which concluded on October 31, 2026. West Indies secured an eight-wicket victory, with their spinners demonstrating superior control and effectiveness on a pitch that offered considerable assistance to slow bowling. The visitors' spin attack extracted an average turn of 3.5 degrees compared to Bangladesh's 3 degrees, a significant margin that proved decisive in the match outcome.
