West Indies have followed England with a return to training before the expected sign-off on Thursday for their three-Test tour.
A Cricket West Indies board meeting is expected to give the green light for a trip that brings 25 players and a coaching setup together in Antigua and, once individual coronavirus test results have been returned from a private laboratory in Florida, departs for the UK on 8 June.
After arrival, the seven-week tour will begin with a fortnight of quarantine for the squad at the Hilton at Old Trafford, during which time a 15-man squad and 10 reserves are expected to be able to work towards the first Test at Hampshire’s Ageas Bowl – another ground with a hotel – on 8 July.
But like England, whose 18 red-ball bowlers returned to individual training last week before a wider international training group are named on Friday, West Indies’ preparation for their defence of the Wisden Trophy has already begun.

To make sure they're not carrying coronavirus to England.
They have enough cases already!

ECB just contacted the club to say domestic season start changed from 1 July to 1 August
Might be curtains for the tour 
In reply to Halliwell
You and I can see why. It's a fiction from the ECB and British government to claim the number of deaths are going down.
Last week Wednesday - 351 deaths
Last week Thursday - 338 deaths
This week Wednesday - 412 deaths
This week Thursday - 377 deaths
What will the death tolls be like when schools reopen on Monday? What will they be like when the West Indies are scheduled to arrive in England a week later?
Madness....
