Follow UsCricket West Indies announced the schedule for England's white-ball series comprising three ODIs and five T20Is just ahead of Christmas later this year.
The world champions in the limited overs format, England will play two ODIs at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on 3 and 6 December before moving to Kensington Oval for the third ODI on December 9. The ODI series will be followed by five T20Is starting December 12.
The series is only two weeks after the summit clash of the ODI World Cup in India, and there might be a possibility of England sending a new-look side to the Caribbean.
England will be visiting the nation for a white-ball series for the first time in a decade after having last played in 2009.
In a press release, Cricket West Indies Chief Executive, Johnny Grave, said: "We are delighted to be able to confirm the England match schedule and to welcome once again their many travelling fans to the region for a pre-Christmas white-ball tour. "
"This tour will be a major economic boost to the host countries, as well as providing our fans with the chance to see some of their favourite players in action against one of our biggest rivals."
"The tour will also help with our ongoing venue preparation and event planning for one of the biggest events ever to be staged in the region, the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which takes place in June next year," he concluded.
