England vs West Indies Live Telecast Channel - When and Where to watch
Live cricket will make its return to our screens when the West Indies tour England for a three-match Test series this month. The Test series is less than a week away and will begin on July 8. With the coronavirus still very much a concern, the matches will certainly take place in a bio-secure environment to ensure the safety of each player.
Both England and the West Indies boast of incredible bowling units but are currently struggling in the batting department. To add to the Indies' woes, their three veteran players Shimron Hetmyer, Darren Bravo and Keemo Paul have decided to opt out of the tour due to COVID-19 concerns.
For England, Joe Root has opted out of the first match to attend to the birth of his second child. Meanwhile, Ben Stokes will be handling the duties as the Test captain for England. On the West Indies front, Jason Holder will lead a squad with talented pacers such as Alzarri Joseph and Kemar Roach.
It will be interesting to see how both teams operate when the time comes. England announced a 30-man training group while the West Indies have also announced their squad.
