Bangladesh coach urges batters to seize chance with Litton Das injured

Bangladesh head coach Phil Simmons said the possible absence of Litton Das gives another batter an opportunity to step up ahead of the two-Test series against West Indies. The first Test starts in Dhaka on October 28.

Litton is recovering from a hip joint injury and has not yet regained full fitness. Simmons noted that while the team will miss a player of Litton's class, the situation creates space for someone else to hold the position and contribute to a win.

Bangladesh sit fourth in the World Test Championship standings after a 2-0 series win over Pakistan and a 1-1 draw with Australia.
