Caribbean reboot
The return to action has not been quite so immediate as it was for australia and india.
In the wake of the world cup or indeed for england t20 world cup winners in australia last time.
And let face it to the caribbean in december is a reasonable assignment after indignities that preceded it.

England Preprations
It is still only three weeks since jos buttler browbeaten squad limped back to blightly their world cup dream in tatters.
And less than a fortnight since their four year reign as 50 over world champions was ended in ahmedabad.
It seems a curious juncture in the global cycle to undertaking another three match odi series.
West indies situation
For judge by the unexperienced squad lining up against them windies might be in broad agreement.
Not only they missed out entire on world cup just gone having fallen short in brutal qualifying tournament.
It now transpires that failure has condemned to onlooker status at 2025 champion trophyas well.
The road to 2027 will feel all the more dim and distant without that staging post for aim.
Pooran and Holder
Nicholas pooran and jason are among the big names who opted out of odis since the qualifiers.
While shane dowrich retirement only day after his recall having played his one previous odi in 2019.
It was further evidence of the format lowly standing within the region at present.
Rovman powell , dominic drakes ,kyle mayers and jayden seales are among the name which are not part of squad.
Hetmyer comeback
Shimron hetmyer is one of the big name which is included in the squad by selectors.
Decision to move the veteran darren bravo feels peculiar in light of given reason for hetmyer absence in zimbabwe.
Though he is already 34 and therefore unlikely to feature in 2027 bravo was still leading run scorer.
In this year super50 cup as he captian trinidad and tobago to victory in the final.
T20 prefrence
In the bigger picture it feels there will be significantly more stake for these two teams come t20 leg.
The tour later in the month when the narrative shifts from to world cup also.
Rans to clash of the defending champions versus the impending host of 2024 tournament next june.
Nevertheless all revivals have a starting point and in the 50-stakes.
That begins at the sir vivian richards stadium in antigua on sunday afternoon.
England Prospective
From the england prospective it a shot to nothing.
A chance for a cast of talented fringe players to impress their captian(who is goat white ball player)buttler.
And make the case for a 2015 style cleaning out of stables even if ben duckett.
One of the player with most to gain in the coming weeks has played down the likelihood.
That is any long term places are up for grabs in the coming days.

Will Jacks
All the england players who might believe their time has come will jacks is one of them.
As a hard hitting opener for surrey and oval invincibles he had been outshining mighty jason roy.
At a domestic level long before the selectors decided the roy lock on world cup place was untenable.
Jacks was not rewarded with acentral contract in the recent round of deals.
But that fact has the potential to work in his favour at this early juncture nothing to lose.
He has every thing to win next time if he can set about making a long terms case.
And to judge his forcefull 94 from 88 against ireland in september.
He offers an unfettered attitude to top order strokeplay in roy absence last month.
