New Delhi: After suffering a shocking series defeat at the hands of the Pakistani cricket team, the focus of English cricket will now shift from red-ball to white-ball as England is set to tour the West Indies for a 3-match ODI series followed by a 3-match T20I series. The Three Lions will welcome their regular white-ball captain Jos Buttler for the upcoming tour.
Although with the ongoing WTC Championships, the red ball calendar continues to dominate over the white ball calendar, the upcoming ODI series will be the perfect opportunity for the English team to get some match practice for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy slotted for next year.

Despite the win in the 1st ODI, 🇱🇰 bowling in appeared to be toothless in helpful conditions. The start was wayward coupled with freebies in the middle overs, which let WI make a strong comeback. If driving home advantage is a strategy 🇱🇰 need to become ruthless in execution! pic.twitter.com/6TkceuNycF
