Off-spinner Sheikh Mahedi Hasan, a peripheral character in the Tigers T20I outfit, turned up as the star of the show with four wickets in the first T20I against the West Indies.
Following a 3-0 drubbing in the preceding ODI series, the Tigers are keen to turn the tide in the T20Is.
Jangoo became only the second West Indian to score a century on ODI debut since Desmond Haynes pulled off the feat in 1978.
There are a few areas the Tigers must improve to bounce back in the second fixture of the three-match series today.
The Tigers’ new breed must step up without relying on the likes Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim, or Mustafizur Rahman -- all of whom were instrumental in Bangladesh's 2-1 ODI series win during their last Caribbean tour in 2018.
Jaker has already scored fifties in each of the three Tests he has played, becoming only the second Bangladeshi after Mominul Haque to achieve such a feat.
Without Mushfiqur Rahim, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Shakib Al Hasan, it took a big effort from the rest of the line-up to negotiate the searing pace of Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales, and company.
Bangladesh’s Test record against the West Indies stands at four wins in 20 encounters, with just two victories on Caribbean soil -- both in 2009.
Bangladesh ended on 253 for seven after being asked to bat by the West Indies Select XI on the opening day, receiving enough of an indication of the difficulty of playing in the West Indies.
