The West Indies Cricket Board (CWI) has selected the 15-member squad for the three-match Test series against England. The 14-man squad was first selected for this series, but a bowler has also been included in the squad due to good performance in the practice session and then the intra squad match. There are also some reserves of West Indies players on this tour, who will be with the team during this tour. In special circumstances these players will be given a place in the team, because the ICC has made such mistakes.

In the West Indies team, 32-year-old fast bowler Shannon Gabriel has also been included in the team. Earlier, Gabriel was not part of the 14-man squad. The team led by Jason Holder does not have much depth and experience in batting, but the bowling department can help the captain a lot. The Test series is to be played under the ICC World Test Championship, in which the West Indies have had a very poor start.

For cricket fans, this is no less than good news, because the fans will at least be able to enjoy live cricket, but the spectators will not be able to watch the match sitting in the stadium. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has created a bio-secure environment for players. Even West Indies players who came to England in the first week of June had to stay in quarantine for two weeks. After this, he started practice.
