West Indies will take on England in the first match of the five-match T20I series on Tuesday (December 12) at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. West Indies won the three-match ODI series by a 2-1 margin after winning the last game by four wickets on the DLS method.
England last played a T20I series against New Zealand in August and September this year. Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Brydon Carse, Chris Jordan, and Luke Wood have been dropped from the side that faced New Zealand. John Turner was picked in the side but was later ruled out due to a side strain. Turner has found a place in the squad for the upcoming series.
