England in West Indies 2015

England Set For Viv Richards Stadium Return

London: England on Monday released details of their 2015 tour of the West Indies, including a first match at Antigua's Sir Vivian Richards Stadium since their abandoned game there in 2009.

In the second Test match at the venue five years ago, the West Indies managed to bowl only 10 balls before the game was called off after the outfield was deemed unsafe due to excess sand.

The venue was subsequently banned from hosting international cricket for 12 months, but it staged a Test match against New Zealand last year and three one-day games against England earlier this year.

It will now host the first of England's three Tests against the West Indies on April 13, which will be followed by matches in Grenada and Barbados.

Itinerary for England's 2015 tour of the West Indies:

April 6-7: Warm-up match at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts
April 8-9: Warm-up match at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts
April 13-17: First Test at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua
April 21-25: Second Test at National Cricket Stadium, St George's, Grenada
May 1-5: Third Test at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados
