Two great white-ball sides are set to compete in a three-match ODI and a five-game T20I series as the West Indies get ready to host England. The opening ODI will begin today (October 31) at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.
Both teams are coming on the back of ODI series losses in their respective outings. While the Caribbeans fell short against Sri Lanka, England lost a highly entertaining series to arch-rivals Australia at home (2-3). Regardless, a lot of new faces will take to the field for England as they continue their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy next year.
