A total of 120 points will be up for grabs over the course of the two games, a maximum of which, for either team, could see the host leap-frog England into third or the West Indies move up one place, into sixth position. The challenge of squaring off against the Kiwis in their backyard sees the West Indies welcoming the return of trio Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer and Keemo Paul—who missed the England series after declining to travel due to the corona virus.

Cricket West Indies (CWI) named the following squad for the two-match encounter: Jason Holder (c), Roston Chase, Shane Dowrich (wk), John Campbell, Shimron Hetmyer, Kraigg Brathwaite, Shamarh Brooks, Darren Bravo, Jermaine Blackwood, Keemo Paul, Rahkeem Cornwall, Shannon Gabriel, Alzarri Joseph, Chemar Holder, and Kemar Roach.
