The second Test between West Indies and Bangladesh in Jamaica has been delayed due to a wet outfield caused by persistent rain. Match officials have confirmed that no play will occur before lunch, with the first session entirely abandoned.

The match, originally scheduled to start at 9 PM Bangladesh Standard Time, is yet to see any action, with no toss taking place either. Officials have inspected the ground multiple times, but poor outfield conditions have delayed proceedings. The next inspection is planned for midnight BST, but the start time remains uncertain.

West Indies lead the two-match Test series 1-0 after a commanding 201-run victory in Antigua. A win in Jamaica would secure a clean sweep for the hosts, adding another triumph to their dominance. On the other hand, Bangladesh are desperate to bounce back, despite being plagued by injuries. For Mehidy Hasan Miraz and his team, salvaging a win is crucial but challenging in the Caribbean conditions.

This Test series is part of the ICC World Test Championship. However, neither Bangladesh nor West Indies are in contention for the finals, making this match more about pride and momentum ahead of the limited-overs leg of the tour. After the Test series, the teams will face off in three ODIs and three T20Is.
