On Tuesday, December 12, at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, West Indies will play England WI vs ENG in the opening game of the five-match T20I series. After winning the final game by four wickets using the DLS technique, West Indies won the three-match ODI series 2-1.
August and September of this year were the last T20I series England played against New Zealand. The players who did not play against New Zealand were Luke Wood, Chris Jordan, Brydon Carse, Dawid Malan, and Jonny Bairstow. John Turner was selected for the team, but a side strain later prevented him from playing. For the next series, Turner has secured a spot in the team. A pectoral issue also prevented Josh Tongue from participating in the last series. Tonge is out of this series due to another injury he sustained during the England Lions training camp in the United Arab Emirates last month. In this series, Tongue will be replaced by Matthew Potts. For this series, the team has added Tymal Mills, Chris Woakes, Phil Salt, and Reece Topley.
The West Indies defeated India 3-2 in their final Twenty20 International series, which took place in August. In the squad from the previous series, they made some intriguing additions. For the first time in his two-year career, Andre Russell has been selected for the T20I squad. In the T20 World Cup 2021, he last competed for the West Indies. The West Indies’ January 2020 T20I player Sherfane Rutherford has managed to find a spot in the team. The team will still be led by Rovman Powell. The new Powell’s deputy is Shai Hope. For this series, Obed McCoy, Odean Smith, Johnson Charles, and Oshane Thomas have not been selected to the team. Following his debut in the last match of the recently finished series against England, Matthew Forde has also managed to find a spot in the team.
