West Indies got off to the worst possible start in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 with a six-wicket loss in their opening clash against Eoin Morgan-led England at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Saturday. West Indies recorded the third-lowest total in the history of the T20 World Cup as they were bundled out for a paltry 55 before England chased down the target with as many as 34 balls to spare.

While it was a disastrous outing for West Indies in Dubai, spinner Akeal Hosein manage to steal the thunder with a stunning diving catch to dismiss Jonny Bairstow during England's run-chase. Asked to chase down a low-key target of just 56 runs, England lost their first wicket in the 4th over when Ravi Rampaul got rid of opener Jason Roy before Bairstow was sent packing by Hosein.

The dismissal took place on the first ball of the seventh over when Hosein took a blinder off his own bowling to complete a caught &amp; bowled dismissal of Bairstow. It was an incredible display of athleticism from the left-arm spinner who has already taken one of the catches of the tournament this year.

Eoin Morgan-led England will be up against West Indies in the second game of the Super 12 stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 on Saturday (October 23). The match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai. Defending champions West Indies and England will be opening their respective campaigns with the clash.

England are heading into the game on the back of a loss and a win in their last two warm-up matches. They bounced bat to beat New Zealand in their second practice game after losing against India in the first one. Mark Wood's 4-wicket haul helped England beat the Kiwis by 13 runs.

West Indies, on the other hand, lost both their warm-up matches against Pakistan and Afghanistan respectively. The Kieron Pollard-led side will be hoping to not repeat their mistakes on Saturday and get off to a winning start against England.&nbsp;

West Indies might not have the momentum on their side but they remain one of the most formidable sides in T20 World Cup 2021 with a significant amount of talent in their ranks. They have some explosive hitters in their batting line-up ad all-rounders who can be game-changers with both the bat and the ball.

England and West Indies had last met in the T20 World Cup in the final of the 2016 showpiece event where the&nbsp;Men from the Caribbean came out on top after a close encounter. England are missing the likes of Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes for the T20 World Cup&nbsp;and are expected to face a tricky contest against West Indies.

T20 World Cup, ENG vs WI live streaming: When and where to watch England vs West Indies match?

Cricket West Indies (CWI) and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) today announced the scheduled match dates for England’s next tour of the Caribbean in 2022. It represents an expanded schedule to the original International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Future Tours Programme (FTP).

The January 2022 Tour will now feature five T20 Internationals (T20Is) – increased from three matches – to be followed by England returning to the Caribbean for three Test matches in March – increased from the original two Test matches.

The Test series will be the first in which the two teams compete for the newly commissioned “Richards-Botham Trophy,” named in honour of West Indies’ batting icon Sir Vivian Richards and England’s great all-rounder Lord Botham. The new trophy pays tribute to the two legends whose rivalry and friendship embodies the close relationship and mutual respect between the two sides.

The T20I series will be the biggest Series to date between the two teams in the shortest form of the game and will be part of the preparations building up to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia in October 2022.

Ricky Skerritt, CWI President said: “This expansion of next year’s England tour to the Caribbean is welcomed news for West Indies Cricket and for the region’s tourism economy. It has come about because of the special relationship that has been developed between our respective boards and we are looking forward to working with ECB Chair Ian Watmore, and CEO Tom Harrison, to expand our partnership even further into new areas of cooperation and support. We have already begun discussions on how the ECB can help us in our development programs and I am pleased that ECB has been showing so much appetite and goodwill to assist.”

Johnny Grave&nbsp;CWI CEO said: “We are delighted that the ECB have agreed to increase the number of matches in their tour to the Caribbean next year. An England Tour to the West Indies is a special event, so by adding a third Test match and two T20Is to the original schedule it will enable more fans to watch the teams do battle and afford more of our countries the opportunity to host matches.”

Ian Watmore, England and Wales Cricket Board Chair said: "We hugely appreciated the support of Cricket West Indies, and all its men’s and women’s players, in helping us host a full season of international cricket in the summer of 2020. Following the conclusion of those tours to England we have been in discussions with CWI to understand how we can best support them moving forward and one way was to extend our existing England men’s tours to the Caribbean in 2022.”

CWI and ECB announce expanded England Men's Tour of the West Indies in 2022

The West Indies cricket team will sport a ‘Black Lives Matter’ logo on the collars of their shirt in the impending three-match Test series against England, starting July 8, in a bid to protest against racism in sports.&nbsp;

Windies skipper Jason Holder, who has supported the cause has come forward after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, as he said in a statement on Sunday: “We believe we have a duty to show solidarity and also to help raise awareness.”

The ICC-approved logo, which is designed by Alisha Hosanna, will be the logo donned by all 20 Premier League football clubs since the resumption of the league earlier in June.

<h2>"Pivotal moment in history for sports"</h2>

“This is a pivotal moment in history for sports, for the game of cricket and for the West Indies cricket team,” Holder said. “We have come to England to retain the Wisden Trophy but we are very conscious of happenings around the world and the fight for justice and equality. As a group of young men, we know of the rich and diverse history of West Indies cricket and we know we are guardians of the great game for generation to come.”

Holder, who wants racism to be at par with doping and corruption, said they arrived at the decision after giving it a strong thought while adding there must be equality and unity in all fronts.

“We did not take our decision lightly. We know what it is for people to make judgments because of the colour of our skin, so we know what it feels like, this goes beyond the boundary. There must be equality and there must be unity. Until we get that as people, we cannot stop,” he said. “We have to find some way to have equal rights and people must not be viewed differently because of the colour of their skin or ethnic background.”

The Windies players are expected to don the logos for the first time in the four-day practice match at the Old Trafford, starting Monday. The Test series, which will also be the resumption of international cricket after a prolonged break due to COVID-19 pandemic, will commence at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton on July 8.

As a group of young men, we know of the rich and diverse history of West Indies cricket and we know we are guardians of the great game for generation to come.” Holder, who wants racism to be at par with doping and corruption, said they arrived at the decision after giving it a strong thought while adding there must be equality and unity in all fronts.

We know what it is for people to make judgments because of the colour of our skin, so we know what it feels like, this goes beyond the boundary. There must be equality and there must be unity. Until we get that as people, we cannot stop,” he said. “We have to find some way to have equal rights and people must not be viewed differently because of the colour of their skin or ethnic background.” The Windies players are expected to don the logos for the first time in the four-day practice match at the Old Trafford, starting Monday. The Test series, which will also be the resumption of international cricket after a prolonged break due to COVID-19 pandemic, will commence at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton on July 8.

West Indies players to don 'Black Lives Matter' logo during England Test series

Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan&nbsp;was named as batting coach for the upcoming tour of England on Tuesday as international cricket slowly returns after the coronavirus shutdown.

Younis, 42, is Pakistan's highest run-scorer in Tests with 10,099 runs in 118 matches in a career that stretched from 2000 to 2017.

Pakistan will also have the services of former spinner Mushtaq Ahmed as spin bowling coach to assist head coach Misbah-ul-Haq during the tour, where they are set to play three Tests and an equal number of Twenty20 internationals.

The national squad will likely kick off training in Lahore before departing for England in early July where they will be held in quarantine for two weeks.

Pakistan are set to play the first of three Tests in Manchester from August 5 while the remaining two Tests will be in Southampton (August 13-17 and 21-25).

The three Twenty20 internationals will all be played in Southampton on August 28, 30 and September 1.

International cricket, halted like other sports because of the coronavirus pandemic, is finally coming back to life with the West Indies arriving in England on Tuesday for a rescheduled, three-Test tour.&nbsp;

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said the two appointments were made to help Misbah and bowling coach Waqar Younis.

"The appointments have been made to provide head coach Misbah and fast bowling coach Waqar the necessary and essential resources that can help them further uplift the performance of the side," said the PCB in a statement.

Pakistan are currently seventh in the Test rankings but they have enjoyed strong tours in England in recent years, drawing 2-2 in 2016 and 1-1 in 2018.

"I am delighted that Younis has agreed to join the Pakistan cricket set-up and his work ethic, commitment to match preparation, game awareness and tactics in the English conditions will be invaluable," said PCB chief executive Wasim Khan.

Younis said he plans to draw on his experience to help shepherd the team during the tour.

"We all know English conditions demand not only precise technique but patience and discipline, and if you can master these, then you will not only excel in England but anywhere in the world," said Younis.

Ex-captain Younis Khan named Pakistan batting coach for England tour

The West Indies team led by Jason Holder departed from Antigua for England to play three Test starting July 8 and arrived in Manchester on Tuesday. All the players and staff completed their COVID-19 tests and all the results were confirmed as negative. Players and staff on board will be tested again&nbsp;for coronavirus.

West Indies, who have sent a strong 25-man squad for the England tour, will live, train and play in a “bio-secure” environment with strict protocols restricting movement in and out of the venues. Hence, 11 reserve players are travelling to train and prepare the Test squad while ensuring replacements are available in case of any injury.

England vs West Indies: Windies arrive in Manchester as all players test negative; series to start from July 8

Roston Chase, who engineered <a href="http://www.wionews.com/sports/engvswi-part-time-spinner-roston-chase-stars-as-windies-beat-england-193095">West Indies' demolition of England in the first Test</a> on Saturday, started his second-innings bowling spell to give the team's pace quartet a breather as much as anything.

A few hours later he had joined an elite list of West Indies' bowlers with eight wickets or more.

Chase did not extract a great deal of turn from the Kensington Oval pitch in Barbados, but flighted the ball beautifully and, aided by some poor England batting, emerged with the figures of eight for 60.

"Looking at the wicket, I always thought I would come into play in the second innings," he told reporters.

With the home team having opted for a line-up lacking a specialist spinner, captain Jason Holder had few options other than to use Chase, a batting all-rounder who entered the match with a Test bowling average of more than 40.

"The quicks set it up for us in the first innings and (spin bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed) told me I'm going to have to bowl 25 overs in the second innings, to get my mind ready for it, so I was always prepared to do some work, to give the pacers a rest," he said.

Chase's first wicket was perhaps his best and most important, clean bowling Rory Burns for 84 with a ball that found the gate between bat and pad.

"I started to pick up some wickets and it went from there," said Barbados-born Chase, 26.

"I just tried to be consistent and land it my areas, despite what the batsmen were doing, put some revs on the ball and vary my pace a bit."

He fittingly delivered the final blow by having Sam Curran stumped for 17, sealing a 381-run win for the hosts.

Only Jack Noreiga -- 9-95 v India at Port of Spain in 1971 -- has taken more than eight wickets in an innings for West Indies.

Chase joined a list with eight wickets that also comprises Colin Croft, Lance Gibbs, Curtley Ambrose, Devendra Bishoo, Shannon Gabriel, Michael Holding and Alf Valentine.

Unlikely hero Roston Chase joins elite list of Windies' bowlers

Part-time off-spinner Roston Chase took eight wickets as West Indies crushed England by 381 runs in the first test in Barbados on Saturday.

Chase seized his chance to shine in the absence of any specialist spinner in the team, picking up a test-best eight for 60 at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown.

West Indies, rank underdogs in the three-match series, bowled out England for 246 in the second innings after dismissing them for 77 in the first.

They won with more than a day to spare in what can only be termed a shambolic display by the visitors, who were coming off a summer series win over number one ranked India.

The England top-order all got starts in the second innings but only opener Rory Burns (84) turned it into a big score.

"Bitterly disappointed," England captain Joe Root said in an on-field interview.

"We're a far better side than we've played this week and we've got to keep remembering how well we have played of late."

Statisticians reached for the record books to put the result into historic perspective, revealing only two occasions when the Windies won by bigger margins by runs.

They defeated England by 425 runs in Manchester in 1976 and dusted Australia by 408 runs in Adelaide in 1980.

"It's difficult to explain and hard to take," Root added.

"We didn't underestimate them. It just showed how difficult it is to win away from home."

Chase's extraordinary figures - better than Shane Warne's test best of eight for 71 - were achieved even though he did not exact prodigious turn. He got just enough, however, to keep the batsmen on edge.

Chase came into the match with a profligate test bowling average of over 40. He flighted the ball well but was aided by some poor shots by the batsmen.

Despite Chase's heroics, West Indies captain Jason Holder was named man of the match after his unbeaten second innings knock of 202.

"Really good test match for me personally. To come back the way I've come back I'm really pleased," Holder, who missed the recent tour of Bangladesh due to a shoulder injury, said.

"I've put in a lot of hard work over the last couple of months trying to get myself back to full fitness. I've had a lot (of emotion) bottled up for a long time."

He also heaped praise on Chase.

"He bowled extremely well today. He got the ball in a really good area."

Holder warned that the result, though welcome, was only one match.

"We've still got a long way to go. One test match doesn't make a summer. We've been in this position before, so lots of hard work to be done."

The second test starts on Thursday in North Sound on the island of Antigua.

"We ticked a few boxes in this test match but it's a matter of turning up in Antigua and doing the same," Holder said.
