Squads edit

David Willey was ruled out of the tour following an operation on his shoulder, with Steven Finn named as his replacement.[5] Alex Hales was added to England's squad after he recovered from a hand fracture.[6] Ahead of the ODI matches, the West Indies reduced their squad from fifteen players to thirteen, dropping Shane Dowrich and Miguel Cummins.[7] However, Cummins was added back in the West Indies squad for the third ODI as a replacement for Shannon Gabriel, who was ruled out due to a side strain he suffered in the 2nd ODI.[8] Tom Curran was added to England's squad as a back-up for Jake Ball, who suffered a knee injury during the second tour match.[9]
