The West Indies are always popular visitors and this completes a wonderful summer of cricket which also includes the npower Ashes Series and the World Twenty20 .
ECB is most grateful for the excellent support and co-operation provided by the West Indies Board with whom we have developed an excellent and warm relationship. We greatly look forward to welcoming the West Indies Team, their officials and supporters next summer.’
