The 2023-25 World Test Championship cycle resumes with England hosting West Indies in a three-match series, starting with the first Test from Wednesday (July 10) to Sunday (July 14) at the Home of Cricket - Lord's in London.

The red ball action will then shift to Nottingham as Trent Bridge hosts the second Test from July 18 to 22 before the series and the tour concludes with the third and final Test at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham from July 26 to 30.

For the home team, Ben Stokes will lead a 15-member squad, which has two uncapped players in Jamie Smith and Dillon Pennington, while Jonny Bairstow and Ben Foakes, the two wicketkeepers, are notable omissions from the previous red ball squad.

All attention of course will be on a certain James Anderson, who is set to play his final Test at Lord's as the veteran pacer will bring down the curtains on his two-decade long international career, which has so far seen him take 969 wickets across Tests (700) and ODIs (269).

The visitors, on the other hand, have named an inexperienced side that will be led by Kraigg Brathwaite with Alzarri Joseph serving as his deputy. One notable absentee in the West Indies squad is Tagenarine Chanderpaul.

This will be West Indies' first visit to England for a Test series since the one they played behind closed doors, marking the first cricketing action during the COVID pandemic in 2020. West Indies opened the series with a win, but England fought back to claim the series 2-1.

As England begin their summers season, here is a look at the squads as well as schedule with dates, timing and venue for the month-long series against West Indies:
