Schedule confirmed for England Women tour of West Indies

Cricket West Indies have announced the schedule for England Women’s tour in December.

The teams will travel to Antigua and Barbados to play three ODIs and five IT20s.

The three ODIs will form part of the ICC Women’s Championship, with England yet to get off the mark following their 3-0 home defeat to India.

Director of England Women’s cricket Jonathan Finch said: “We’re happy to be able to release the schedule for the tour of the West Indies.

“It’s always a great place to visit and with a new Head Coach soon to come on board it’s the beginning of a new cycle for this team.

“The West Indies series sees our first overseas round of the ICC Women’s Championship and it’s key we get some points on the board. The tour also plays an important role in preparing for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup early next year.”
