Shimron Hetmyer is the only change from the Sri Lanka tour. West Indies were drubbed by the Lankans in the ODI series by 2-1.
West Indies head coach Daren Sammy expressed his excitement about returning to action against England.

"Playing against England always provides a new challenge and reignites a rivalry that the players and the people of the Caribbean are eager for. Somehow, we West Indies always find a way to raise our game when we face England."

"This rivalry goes back for decades, and after defeating them last year at home for the first time in a long time in an ODI series, we’re ready to face the challenge of a strong England squad again. It’s always special to play at home, where the local support brings energy and passion to every match. With our sights set on qualifying for the ICC Men’s World Cup in 2027, we’ve selected a balanced squad that will no doubt push and compete with one of the best teams in the world", Sammy added.

West Indies ODI Squad for England series: Shai Hope (Captain), Jewel Andrew, Keacy Carty, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Shimron Hetmyer, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Gudakesh Motie, Sherfane Rutherford, Jayden Seales, Romario Shepherd, Hayden Walsh Jr.

The ODI series begins from Thursday, October 31 at Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium.
