West Indies are scheduled to clash with England in the ODI series. The WI vs ENG 1st ODI will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium and the series will see three matches. Shai Hope leads West Indies in the series.
Home team WI lost to Sri Lanka in the recent ODI series. In bowling, despite good teamwork, they only managed to win one out of three matches in a rain-affected series. West Indies are quite a strong team in the country and have been in stellar form recently.
They will be looking to dominate the English at home, taking advantage of the fact that the visitors are lacking their skipper and several key members of the series. Below is the projected 11 for West Indies in their first ODI match against England.
