England, West Indies Set for ODI Series

England is set to face the West Indies in the first ODI of their tour on October 31, 2024, in Antigua, with Liam Livingstone captaining a squad missing several key players, including Jos Buttler. The West Indies, led by Shai Hope, have made changes to their squad, including the return of Shimron Hetmyer and the promotion of Brandon King to vice-captain. The ODI series follows a recent 1-2 loss for the West Indies against Sri Lanka, and they are looking to leverage home advantage against a depleted England team. The series consists of three ODIs and five T20 matches, with the second ODI taking place on November 2 and the final ODI on November 6 in Barbados. Tickets for the matches are priced affordably, with special promotions available for attendees. The rivalry between the two teams adds excitement as they compete for World Cup qualification in 2027.
