After winning the ODI series 3-0, England will play under Harry Brook's captaincy for the first time in T20I cricket as they host West Indies in a three-match T20I series. The first match will take place on Friday (June 6)} at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street.
The series against West Indies is Brook's first as full-time captain, but he had led the English team in ODIs before last year against Australia. However, he is yet to lead the national team in the shortest format and all eyes will be on his leadership in the shortest format.
The series is a vital one for both teams, with the T20 World Cup not far away. Both teams will kickstart their preparation for the mega event, which will take place next year in February-March and will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
This is also England's last assignment before the marquee Test series against India. Brook, Ben Duckett, Jacob Bethell are the only players that are part of England's T20I and Test squad.
Phil Salt has taken a paternity leave and pulled of the series.
This series marks Shai Hope's first since being named T20I captain and replacing Rovman Powell. The West Indies will also play a three-match T20I series against Ireland after the England series.
Squads:
England:Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Shai Hope(w/c), Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, Andre Russell, Romario Shepherd, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Shimron Hetmyer, Johnson Charles
