Bangladesh's head coach Phil Simmons has emphasized the team's determination to qualify for the ICC World Test Championship 2025/27 final ahead of their upcoming two-match Test series against West Indies. The series begins on 28 October in Mirpur, with Bangladesh currently ranked fourth in the WTC standings. The team has shown resilience after a series loss to Sri Lanka, followed by a 2-0 victory over Pakistan and a notable result in a drawn series against Australia.

With two home series and an away tour of South Africa remaining, Bangladesh still has opportunities to secure a place in the final. Simmons' comments reflect the squad's focus on achieving this objective as they progress through the current WTC cycle. The team's performance in the series against West Indies will be a key factor in their overall campaign.
