Ashraful shows good signs

Tigers 94/2 in 22

Sports Reporter
Bangladesh shrugged off early jitters as they reached 94 for two in 22 overs in their opening one-day match against West Indies at Windsor Park in Dominica yesterday.
The visitors lost their lefthanded opener Tamim Iqbal in the very first ball of the innings after West Indies skipper Floyd Reifer had won the toss and opted to field on a bright sunny day in Roseau, the latest addition to the list of venues hosting international cricket.
Tamim tried to pull the first ball of Kemar Roach but only managed to get a thin edge behind the wicket.
But Mohammad Ashraful joined other opener Zunaed Siddiqui to salvage the innings. The pair added 74 runs in 16.5 overs before Zunaed was out caught at mid-off after scoring 36 off 47 balls that contained three fours.
Ashraful, who had a miserable series in the preceding two Tests that Bangladesh won last week, looked in good touch with the bat, scoring his first 16 runs off boundaries. He was batting on 38 with him Rokibul Hasan on 10.
Bangladesh made three new inclusions to their squad for this series and each of

West Indies have three players making their debut, two of whom had their moments of success in theTest series. Dale Richards, the explosive opener, and Travis Dowlin. who stroked 95 in the first innings in Grenada, have received call-up while Nelon Pascal shared the new-ball with the impressive Kemar Roach.
The hosts have gone in with a strong bowling attack of four seamers and two spinners, including the veteran legspinner Rawl Lewis.
