How to watch West Indies vs Bangladesh 1st Test 2026 live in India: Live streaming, timings and venue

After the dramatic one-off Test match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi, where the latter’s superb batting on the fifth day didn’t give the visitors the chance to win the clash, Bangladesh are ready to host the West Indies for the two-match Test series, beginning on October 28.  

It has been a quick turnaround for the Caribbean side, who just featured in the three ODIs and the five T20Is. They performed decently in the home series and will look to showcase their talent against a dominating Bangladesh side at home.
