England will begin a new chapter in their 50-over cricket journey with a three-match ODI series against the West Indies, starting Thursday at Edgbaston. Harry Brook takes charge as full-time captain, replacing Jos Buttler, as the team looks to recover from a string of poor performances. England are currently on a seven-match losing streak in ODIs. The run includes a disappointing campaign in the ICC Champions Trophy and a 3-0 whitewash on their tour of India earlier this year. West Indies, meanwhile, drew their most recent series 1-1 against Ireland in rain-affected games. With qualification for the 2027 ODI World Cup in focus, the Caribbean side aims to gain crucial points after missing out on the last two ICC 50-over tournaments.
