Monday, 18 October 2021 — ST JOHNS, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced the match schedule and venues for the much anticipated England T20 International (T20I) and Test Tours of the West Indies in January and March 2022. The England Men’s Series in the Caribbean forms a focal point for one of the West Indies Men’s busiest ever years of International Home Series cricket.

England will arrive in the Caribbean to play the first-ever five-match T20I Series between the two teams. All five matches in Barbados will be played across a nine-day period from January 22 to 30, 2022, including two consecutive weekends of back-to-back T20I cricket.

Following West Indies’ white-ball tour of India in February 2022, the West Indies will welcome England back to the Caribbean for a three-match Test Series to compete for the newly created Richards-Botham Trophy.  This new trophy honours two legends of cricket, Sir Vivian Richards and Lord Ian Botham, whose friendship and on-field heroics became synonymous with some of their respective teams' greatest Test match moments.

Richards-Botham Trophy - what a tight duel that was - W13, D6, L1 (the last one)

Still upset we couldn’t hold out for another TWENTY MINUTES on Day 5 at Old Trafford till the rain came - then we could have kept the Wisden Trophy for ever

A test is slotted for Grenada.
CWI owes the BCA money, so that's one way of paying.
Same will happen when India comes, T&T with be paid.
Only god knows if St.Kitts or Antigua have been paid, for matches played there, the last couple of years.

In reply to openning

sending India to T&T is giving them home advantage...Pouty will vex!!

Polly- no more cricket at the Mecca

Holding- no more cricket in Guyana

Richards-no more cricket in St. Lucia

The England itinerary- only one of three wishes not granted

I have been looking forward to this event for a long time. The pandemic really hurts cricket fans because of postponement. Thanks to the vaccination operation around the world, we can hopefully continue with this one.
