The England cricket team toured the West Indies in December 2023 to play three One Day International (ODI) and five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1] [2] [3] The International Cricket Council (ICC) finalized the bilateral series in a press release.[4] [5] In May 2023, Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced the schedule for the series.[6] [7] The T20I series formed part of both teams' preparation for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup tournament.[8]

During the third and final ODI of the series, West Indies players wore black armbands to mourn the deaths of former West Indies cricketers Joe Solomon and Clyde Butts and a minute's silence was observed prior to the start of the match.[9] West Indies won the 3-match ODI series 2-1 by defeating England in the final rain-affected match by 4 wickets.[10]

West Indies also won the 5-match T20I series 3–2.[11]

Squads

On 23 November 2023, Josh Tongue was ruled out from entire tour due to an injury,[16] with Matthew Potts named as his replacement in England's ODI squad.[17]

On 30 November 2023, Shane Dowrich announced his retirement from international cricket with immediate effect,[18] and was withdrawn from the West Indies' ODI squad with no replacement named.[19]

For the last two T20Is, Shimron Hetmyer was dropped and Alzarri Joseph was rested,[20] with Johnson Charles and Oshane Thomas were named their respective replacements in the West Indies' squad.[21]
