“The teams will travel to Antigua and Barbados to play three ODIs and five T20s. The three ODIs will form part of the ICC Women’s Championship, with England yet to get off the mark following their 3-0 home defeat to India,” said an official statement from ECB.
Director of England Women’s cricket Jonathan Finch said: “We are happy to be able to release the schedule for the tour of the West Indies. It is always a great place to visit and with a new Head Coach soon to come on board it is the beginning of a new cycle for this team.”
