West Indies vs England Test Series 2022: Full schedule, squads, match timings, telecast, and live streaming details
West Indies and England will lock horns in a three-match Test series, starting March 8. The matches will be held at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Kensington Oval and National Cricket Stadium.
West Indies will be keen to give a debut cap to 25-year-old Anderson Phillip, who did well in the West Indies Championship. However, in the first Test, they will miss the services of Shannon Gabriel, who is carrying a hamstring injury.
Kemar Roach will be leading the pace attack. A lot will depend on captain Kraigg Braithwaite and Jason Holder in the Test series.
England, on the other hand, are entering this series after a poor showing in the Ashes. The ECB made major changes to the English Test set-up, with former skipper Paul Collingwood taking over the interim head coach's role.
James Anderson and Stuart Broad have been axed and there will be a lot of heat on Ollie Robinson, Saqib Mahmood and Ben Stokes. Robinson will not be a part of the first Test, having failed to recover from a back spasm.
Since the opening duo of Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed failed to create an impact against Australia, fans will get to see the new pair of Alex Hales and Zak Crawley. Mark Wood is unwell and his availability for the opening encounter will be decided on game day.
