Teenage Trinidadian batsman Adrian Barath has received his first senior team call up in a 13-man West Indies squad named for the first Test against Bangladesh starting Thursday.

The 19-year-old, right-hander has been named alongside his fellow countryman Ravi Rampaul who has represented the Windies in one-day internationals before but is yet to be selected for a Test.

Barath scored heavily in the West Indies four-day competition earlier this year, fashioning 845 runs to be among the leading run-scorers.

The 24-year-old Rampaul is now poised to play his first Test since making his international debut almost six years ago.

The right-arm fast bowler has already played 36 ODIs in a career plagued by injury and he will be favoured to make the final XI, especially with the injured Fidel Edwards and dropped Lionel Baker out of the scenario.

Jamaican fast bowler Andrew Richardson, who toured England earlier this year, has been retained in the squad which will be led again by Chris Gayle.

West Indies face Bangladesh in the opening match of the two-Test series on Thursday at Arnos Vale in St Vincent.

SQUAD - Chris Gayle (captain), Denesh Ramdin (vice-captain), Adrian Barath, Dwayne Bravo, Sulieman Benn, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Narsingh Deonarine, Runako Morton, Brendan Nash, Ravi Rampaul, Andrew Richardson, Ramnaresh Sarwan , Jerome Taylor.
