England vs West Indies squads, schedule, live streaming

Following a string of disappointing performances and early exits from major tournaments — including the ICC World Cup 2023, T20 World Cup 2024, and the Champions Trophy 2025 — the England cricket team has entered a significant transition phase. The repeated failures on the global stage prompted a leadership change, with Jos Buttler stepping down as captain in February 2025. In his place, the England and Wales Cricket Board has handed over the reins to promising young middle-order batter Harry Brook. Seen as one of the brightest talents in English cricket, Brook is now tasked with rebuilding the team and steering them into a new era. With a fresh approach and a focus on nurturing young talent, England hopes to bounce back from its recent setbacks and regain its competitive edge in international cricket across all formats under Brook’s captaincy.

For the West Indies, the road ahead in white-ball cricket, particularly in the ODI format, remains steep and demanding. Under the leadership of captain Shai Hope, the team faces the formidable challenge of reclaiming its lost stature in international cricket. Once a powerhouse in the limited-overs game, the West Indies have seen a dramatic decline in recent years, underscored by their failure to qualify for the last two ICC global events — a low point that highlighted the urgent need for structural and performance-based reforms.

In a recent attempt to rebuild momentum, the West Indies played a three-match ODI series against Ireland. Despite a rocky start, where they suffered a defeat in the opening match, the team showed character and resilience. They bounced back with a win in the third ODI, managing to level the series 1-1 after the second match was washed out due to rain. The drawn series offered a few positives for the Caribbean side, including glimpses of young talent and individual brilliance, but also reinforced the long road they still need to travel to become a competitive force again. For Shai Hope and his team, consistency, development of emerging players, and a strong team culture will be key moving forward.

England are set to make a fresh start in white-ball cricket after a four-month break, following their disappointing performance in the Champions Trophy 2025, where they lost all three of their group-stage matches. With a new captain in Harry Brook and a restructured squad, the team is looking to turn the page and rebuild momentum in both ODIs and T20Is.

Meanwhile, the West Indies will be boosted by the return of their explosive left-hander Shimron Hetmyer, who missed the recent ODI series against Ireland due to his participation in IPL 2025 with the Rajasthan Royals. The Caribbean side enters the series with a full-strength squad and no major injury concerns, giving them a strong chance to test England in their own conditions. In contrast, England will miss their pace spearhead Jofra Archer due to injury. To reinforce the squad, the selectors have recalled Will Jacks, Matthew Potts, and Tom Hartley for the ODI leg, while Liam Dawson and Luke Wood return for the T20Is.
