The West Indies are determined to finish 2024 with a clean sweep over Bangladesh in the Test series. With momentum from their commanding win in the Antigua Test, the hosts step into the Jamaica Test fueled by memories of their thrilling victory over Pakistan at the same venue last year.

West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite expressed excitement ahead of the second Test. Reflecting on his personal connection to Jamaica, he said: "Returning to Jamaica a year after leading here is special. This venue has always been a favorite, not just for me but for all West Indies players. I still remember the crucial partnership we built against Pakistan last year that helped us secure a win. I'll be sharing those positive experiences with the team."

Brathwaite emphasized the importance of ending the year with a win, stating: "It’s crucial to finish the year on a high note. Every series is about winning, and this match is vital for us. The first Test is history; now we need to focus on performing well here."

The 31-year-old skipper is set to achieve a remarkable milestone, becoming the first West Indies player to feature in 86 consecutive Test matches. On this feat, Brathwaite remarked: "It’s an incredible honor for me. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities given to me throughout my career. This achievement is something I hope inspires others."
