The West Indies vs England T20 2024 series will kickstart on Sunday, November 10.
The first T20I in the five-match series will be played at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados at 01:30 AM IST on Sunday. Live streaming of the West Indies vs England T20 2024 will be available in India.
The second game will start on November 11, the immediate next day, at the same venue and at the same time. The action will shift to the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia for the remaining three T20Is which will be played on November 15, 17 and 18, respectively.
The T20I series between West Indies and England follows the three-match ODI leg which the Windies won 2-1. The hosts won the first and third games by identical margins of eight wickets with England winning the second game by five wickets.
England get into the T20I series with the same 16-member squad that played the ODIs except white-ball captain Jos Buttler, who makes a return to the T20I setup after the T20 World Cup 2024.
Buttler, who was initially named as captain of both the squads had to withdraw from the ODI leg as he was undergoing rehabilitation for a calf injury. He takes over the reins from Liam Livingstone who was the stand-in captain for the West Indies ODI series.
England have a young and inexperienced squad at their disposal with bowlers John Turner, Jafer Chohan and all-rounder Dan Mousley yet to make their T20I debut.
Wicketkeeper-batter Jordan Cox and the all-rounder duo of Jacob Bethell and Jamie Overton made their T20I debut after the T20 World Cup in June and have played only two T20Is each.
This will be England’s first T20I game after their three-match series at home against arch-rivals Australia in September. The series ended in a 1-1 draw with the third and final match at Manchester being washed out due to rain.
Meanwhile, West Indies suffered a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka in their last bilateral T20I series away from home last month. They lost the last two T20Is after a winning start at Dambulla.
Currently, England are ranked third in the ICC men’s T20I rankings whereas West Indies are one spot below at fourth as per the latest list.
West Indies vs England head-to-head in T20Is
West Indies hold a slight edge over England in their T20I head-to-head record with 17 wins out of the total 30 matches. England have won the remaining 13 matches.
In the latest encounter between both sides, England coasted to an eight-wicket win over the Windies in the Super Eights of the T20 World Cup 2024 in June.
However, West Indies were victorious in the five-match bilateral T20 series against England at home, by a 3-2 margin, in December last year.
