Lara threatens to resign as captain

Brian Lara has threatened to resign as West Indies captain if his side fail to beat Bangladesh in the second and final Test starting in Jamaica on Friday.

West Indies drew with the fledgling Test nation in the first Test in St Lucia after losing 3-0 to England in a home series in March and April.

The team travel to England for a four-match series starting in July and Lara is looking for a result against Bangladesh to save his job.

"If we don't win then I don't think I am going to lead the team to England," he told a pre-match news conference." If we don't beat Bangladesh in five good days of cricket, we need another leader."

Off spinner Omari Banks has been drafted into the West Indies squad while Bangladesh are expected to name an unchanged line-up.

Teams:

West Indies: Brian Lara (captain), Ramnaresh Sarwan, Omari Banks, Tino Best, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Pedro Collins, Fidel Edwards, Chris Gayle, Ridley Jacobs, Jermaine Lawson, Ravi Rampaul, Devon Smith, Dwayne Smith.

Bangladesh: Habibul Bashar (captain), Alamgir Kabir, Alok Kapali, Enamul Haque Jr, Faisal Hossain, Hannan Sarkar, Javed Omar, Khaled Mashud, Manjural Islam Rana, Mohammad Ashraful, Mohammad Rafique, Mushfiqur Rahman, Rajin Saleh, Tapash Baisya, Tareq Aziz.
