"I’ve got an idea as to who’s going to bat three, four, five, six and obviously I need to have a final discussion with the selectors later on today (Monday) about the opening spot to go with Tamim (Iqbal)", Domingo told the media on Monday.

The batting partner for Tamim Iqbal in the opening slot has been under discussion as both Saif Hassan and Shadman Islam have not been in good form with the bat leading up to the first Test against West Indies.

"The batting order still needs some discussion. I've got an idea as to who's going to bat three, four, five, six and obviously I need to have a final discussion with the selectors later on today (Monday) about the opening spot to go with Tamim (Iqbal)", Domingo told the media on Monday.

"We've got a few options as Saif (Hassan) played in the last Test and Shadman (Islam) was the man in that position before he broke his fingers. So those are the options there and we need to have a discussion with the selectors in the next couple of hours," Domingo explained.

Bangladesh play West Indies in the first Test at Chattogram on Wednesday which will also be part of the ICC World Test Championship.
