England will begin their white-ball reset against the West Indies in Antigua on December 3 with an eight-match assignment comprising three ODIs and five T20Is. After a forgettable World Cup 2023, England made some significant changes in the squads for the West Indies tour, however, skipper Jos Buttler remains. Buttler had a disappointing tournament not just as a captain but also as a batter and will be hoping to turn it around in the Caribbean, given there's a T20 World Cup to be played here in six months.
For West Indies, it is a series to prove a point in ODIs and present their contention for the T20 World Cup, a format in which they are still the world-beaters and since they will be the home team, who knows... Alzarri Joseph has been named Shai Hope's deputy in the ODIs and indicates where the Men in Maroon are moving as a side. The likes of Nicholas Pooran and Jason Holder may not prefer this format, however, West Indies have started to get a few players made for this format and Test cricket.
