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.
