The return of worldwide cricket after more than 3 months of COVID-19 stop will see England and West Indies competing in a three-match Test series.
The last global cricket match was played in between Australia and New Zealand in Sydney on March 13, 2020.
The Caribbeans will face the English side in the opening Test from July 8 at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton (England).
Even though worldwide cricket will see its resumption, the fans will have to wait longer to experience the match from the stadium.
Cricket will witness its first Test match without spectators, which will occur apparently for the first time in the 143- year of the recognisation of the Test cricket.
The English side will be led by interim skipper Ben Stokes, as Joe Root is with his other half for delivery of their second kid.
Stirs will become England’s 81 st player to lead the side in the white jersey.
On the other hand, Jason Holder will be leading the West Indies side for the 33 rd time in the white jersey and will intend to raise the cup as his team has actually not won a series in England since 1988.

1st Test: July 8-12, Ageas Bowl, Southampton
2nd Test: July 16-20, Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester
3rd Test: July 24-28, Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester
