Second Test, Grenada: West Indies v Bangladesh
Date: 17-21 July Scheduled start: 1500 BST
Coverage: Scores and reports on the BBC website and mobiles
Bangladesh have the chance to secure only their second series win in nine years as a Test-playing nation when they meet West Indies on Friday.
A draw will be good enough for the Tigers in Grenada after they won the first Test by 95 runs.
But captain Mashrafe Mortaza may miss the game because of a knee injury.
West Indies, who will again be forced to field a weakened side because their first-choice squad is still on strike, have called up all-rounder Ryan Hinds.
The 28-year-old, who won the last of his 14 Test caps against England earlier this year, is likely to replace Nikita Miller and will add some much-needed experience to the team.
A series defeat would be a profound embarrassment for Caribbean cricket, but the dispute between the players' association, Wipa, and the West Indies Cricket Board shows no sign of nearing a resolution.
Wipa have asked Bharat Jagdeo, chairman of the Caricom heads of government, to intervene in the matter.
In their letter, the association stated: "We at Wipa are fully conscious of the importance of cricket to the economy and unity of the region, and the psyche of its peoples - matters in which you and other heads of government are continuously and intrinsically involved.
606: DEBATE"Our players are deeply mindful of this responsibility they shoulder on behalf of this important group of stakeholders."
None of that is likely to affect Bangladesh, whose only previous series win came against Zimbabwe in early 2005.
Their victory in the first Test in St Vincent, secured despite trailing by 69 runs on first innings, prompted street celebrations in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka.
The absence of Mortaza, their man strike bowler, could force the tourists to rely even more heavily on spinners Mahmadullah and Shakib Al Hasan, although Nazmul Hossain has joined the squad as cover.
