WI vs ENG Head to Head Record in Test matches | West Indies vs England Test Stats | Antigua Test

WI vs ENG Head to Head Record: The SportsRush presents for you the Head to Head statistics for the first WI vs ENG Test.

The first Test match of the ongoing England’s tour of West Indies will kick-start at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium from tomorrow.

Having resumed international cricket with a three-match Test series in England during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic around the world, the two teams will be locking horns after less than two years. England, who had also toured West Indies for a three-match Test series in 2019, will be playing their third Test series against them in the last three years.

In what will be England’s 17th Test series in the West Indies, they have won three and lost nine since their first trip to the Caribbean in 1930. When it comes to playing in West Indies, readers must note that England have a solitary Test series victory as compared to seven losses in the last 50 years.
