England will face the West Indies in a three-Test series starting on March 8 with all three matches due to be played this month. England have already taken part in five T20 games in the Caribbean.

England’s task in the Caribbean is a tough one, with just one series win on these islands since 1968. Last time they visited Antigua in 2019 they were skittled twice for less than 200 as the hosts celebrated a 10-wicket win.
