“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," said Jonathan Finch, the Director of England Women’s cricket.
The ODI series against West Indies will kick off England's first overseas round in the ICC Women's Championship, whereas the T20I leg will serve as a good preparation for both teams ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup next year.
