The whole schedule for the England series, for December 2023, has been released by West Indies cricket.
The three ODIs and five T20Is that make up the series will start in Antigua in early December. The first three ODIs in the series will be played in Antigua, with the last match taking place in Barbados.
Prior to moving to Grenada for games two and three of the T20I series, the opening match will be played there. The last two games were won by Trinidad.
The five-game series will be a crucial part of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup preparations in the Caribbean Islands in 2024.
“We are delighted to be able to confirm the England match schedule and to welcome once again their many travelling fans to the region for a pre-Christmas white-ball tour,” Johnny Grave, Cricket West Indies’ Chief Executive said as quoted by ICC.
“This tour will be a major economic boost to the host countries, as well as providing our fans with the chance to see some of their favourite players in action against one of our biggest rivals.”
“The tour will also help with our ongoing venue preparation and event planning for one of the biggest events ever to be staged in the region, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which takes place in June next year” Grave added.
