Cricket in the West Indies: England Team Set For Three Test Matches in March
by Karen Rollins Feb 7, 2022
The England cricket team’s tour of the West Indies will continue in March with three Test matches in Antigua, Barbados and Grenada.
The Tour kicked off on 22 January in Barbados with the first-ever five-match T20I series between the two teams. The West Indies won that contest 3-2.
Now, the series will conclude with three Test matches to claim the newly created Richards-Botham Trophy.
The new trophy is named after Antigua’s Sir Vivian Richards and England’s Lord Ian Botham. Both players are respected for their on-field achievements for their international sides as well as a close friendship away from the pitch.
The first Test will be held at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The second Test at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown. The final Test will take place at the National Cricket Stadium in St George’s, Grenada.
Below is the remaining Tour schedule (all times are local):
Tuesday 1 March (Day One) at 10am – Four-day practice match at Coolidge Cricket Ground, Antigua.
Tuesday 8 March (Day One) at 10am – First Test at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua.
Wednesday 16 March (Day One) at 10am – Second Test at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados.
Thursday 24 March (Day One) at 10am – Third Test at the National Cricket Stadium, St George’s, Grenada.
Tickets for the Tour are on sale to fully vaccinated England fans and local supporters.
Rally round the West Indies!
