England confirm tour to West Indies in December for white-ball series
England fans in the stands during the T20 World Cup
England will return to Brian Lara's home island of Trinidad for the first time in over 14 years on their pre-Christmas tour of the West Indies.
The England and Wales (ECB) have confirmed a white-ball tour to the West Indies for the men's national team that will consist of three ODIs and five T20Is.
Queen's Park Stadium in Port of Spain was once a regular stopping point on England's Caribbean tours but has been absent from the schedule since 2009, and a pair of back-to-back T20s will instead be held 50km away in Tarouba on December 19 and 21.
The Brian Lara Academy has hosted just one previous international, a defeat by India last July, and will represent a new ground for the travelling fans.
The white-ball series comprises ODIs and T20s, with two matches apiece in Barbados, Antigua and Grenada completing the schedule.
