Due to industrial action between the West Indies Cricket Board and the West Indies Players' Association, the West Indies fielded a weak team which was missing its entire First XI during the series.[1]
Bangladesh easily accounted for the weakened West Indian team, winning the Test series 2–0 and the ODI series 3–0. In the Test series, Bangladesh recorded only its second and third Test wins ever, its first and second Test wins as the touring side, its first series win as the touring side, and its first Test series whitewash. In the ODI series, it was also Bangladesh's first series win as the touring side against a Test nation, and its first series whitewash against a Test nation. The West Indies won the Twenty20 match.

- However, the dispute between the West Indies Cricket Board and the West Indies Players Association saw the First XI go on strike. As such, an entirely new team was selected for the Test series. Not a single member of the new squad had played in the side's most recent Test match against England two months earlier, and nine of the fifteen players in the squad had never played a Test.
- in the 3rd day of First test Mashrafe Motaraza got injured in his knee and Shakib was stand in captain for the remaining days and the 2nd test.
