West Indies will tour England for a three-match Test series. The first match will start on Wednesday, July 10. The matches will be played at Lord’s, Trent Bridge and Edgbaston.
Both teams have only won one of their last five matches leading up to this series. West Indies' victory came against Australia at the Gabba in their most recent Test match, where Shamar Joseph's impressive performance of 7 for 68 helped secure an eight-run win. On the other hand, England won the first game of their series but went on to lose the next four matches during their tour of India.
James Anderson is set to play his 188th and final Test match for England at Lord's. Jamie Smith will be the wicketkeeper, chosen over Jonny Bairstow and Ben Foakes, while Shoaib Bashir will be the sole spinner instead of Jack Leach.
Uncapped players Dillon Pennington and Gus Atkinson are expected to feature in at least one of the first two Test matches. Additionally, Harry Brook is making a return to the Test side after missing the India series for personal reasons.
West Indies faced a setback when Kemar Roach was sidelined from the series due to an injury. However, the team still possesses a strong seam attack featuring Jason Holder, Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales, and Alzarri Joseph.
