West Indies great and Bangladesh bowling coach Courtney Walsh on Monday warned that bowling conditions in Britain would make the upcoming World Cup a tough test for the South Asian side.

The ten-team tournament will run from May 30 to July 14 in England and Wales.

"It will be a big challenge," Walsh told reporters in Dhaka.

"There are going to be some good cricket wickets, which are batting-friendly. We have to be intelligent, and try to execute well.

"We have to read the conditions and the surfaces we play. Some places the ball might swing more than the others. We have to assess when we get there."
"Everybody studies one another these days. So they know our strengths and weaknesses. Likewise, we also know theirs."
