West Indies coaches urge focus ahead of second Test against Bangladesh

West Indies head coach Daren Sammy and assistant coach Floyd Reifer have called for continued focus and discipline as the team prepares for the second Test against Bangladesh in Sylhet.

Following a dominant eight-wicket victory in the opening Test, Reifer warned against complacency, noting that pitch conditions are expected to change. He emphasized the need for the team to repeat their successful processes, particularly their ability to bat against spin.

Daren Sammy highlighted the importance of the remaining matches for the team's standing in the 2025-27 World Test Championship. He noted that strong performances could help improve their eighth-place position and attract greater commercial sponsorship. The squad is currently playing without Shai Hope and Alzarri Joseph, who are being rested and managed, respectively.
