England’s one-day squad is in the Caribbean to play three matches against the West Indies as part of preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy in June.
The Windies aren’t involved in the Champions Trophy but will be keen to put a spoke in their opponents’ plans and did famously, of course, beat England in the final of the T20 World Cup last year – Ben Stokes is probably still having nightmares about that final over!
England captain Eoin Morgan accepts that his Test career is probably over but is determined to still be in the charge of the one-day side by the time the 2019 World Cup comes around – England are, of course, hosting that tournament. Morgan is one of several England players involved in the upcoming Indian Premier League but will fly home to play two matches for England against Ireland in May.
The Middlesex batsman did rediscover some of his best form in India earlier this year but his side were still soundly beaten and are in need of a confidence boost. On their last one-day series against the West Indies in 2014, England emerged triumphant and you can get odds of 5/4 with Bet365 that they win this latest series by the same 2-1 scoreline.

These are the most important terms and conditions but for full details go to Bet365.
England are a best 4/9 with sportingbet to win the series against the Windies and have flown out with a strong squad. By comparison, their hosts will be missing most of their bigger names as they look to build towards 2019. Joe Root is 3/1 with Bet365 to be top England batsman in the series with Jason Roy at a best 7/2 – Morgan is a general 5/1. Kieran Powell is a general 4/1 to be leading West Indies batsman, the same odds as Evin Lewis and Kragg Brathwaite.
