Kyle Mayers struck an unbeaten 210 as a weakened West Indies won the game by three wickets. “Shakib has been assessed and monitored continuously since suffering a strain on his left thigh on the second day of the match,” the Bangladesh Cricket Board said in a statement. No replacement has been named for the second Test which starts in Dhaka on Friday.
