Cricket West Indies (CWI) have unveiled the schedule for England’s tour to the Caribbean Islands in December 2023. The home white-ball series will commence in early December with three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and five T20 Internationals (T20Is) to be held in Antigua, Barbados, Grenada and Trinidad.
The limited-overs battle will start with the three ODIs with the first two matches taking place in Antigua before the action shifts to B🐲arbados for the final game. Similarly, the T20I leg will begin in Barbados for the opening game before Grenada hosting the second and third matches and Trinidad the final two fixtures.
There is no denial that the five-match T20I series will come handy regarding the preparations for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place 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. 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,” said Johnny Grave, CWI Chief E𒀰xecutive in a statem💜ent.
“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,” added Grave.
