Aren't England tired of playing in Barbados and Antigua every time they tour the Caribbean?

There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss this with them then.

I'm sure the trough dwellers will go out of their way to keep Windrush off the agenda....

Cricket West Indies (CWI) selection panel yesterday named the CWI President's XI squad to face England.

Jahmar Hamilton, the wicket-keeper/batsman, has been named as captain and the squad includes six players with Test match experience. These are batsmen Sunil Ambris, Jermaine Blackwood and Vishaul Singh; allrounder Raymon Reifer; and fast bowlers Alzarri Joseph and Miguel Cummins.

The teams will meet in two two-day matches at the 3Ws Oval at the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies. The first match will be played on January 15 and 16 and the second match on January 17 and 18.

England in West Indies: Sir Alastair Cook joins team (click for more)

I wonder what Cook thought about the warm-up matches....

In the first two-day game at Cave Hill, England made 317, led by knocks of 87 from Joe Root and 56 from Ben Stokes against spinner Bryan Charles (5-100) and pacer Chemar Holder (3-67). Pacers Jimmy Anderson (4-12) and Stuart Broad (4-19) were the leading wicket-takers as the President's XI lost 18 wickets for 203 runs.

The second game was only slightly more sensible, as England made 379 thanks mainly to Jonny Bairstow (98) and Rory Burns (68). Medium pacer Raymon Reifer took 3-39 and part-time spinner John Campbell 3-58. The President's XI were 233-11 (yes, eleven!) when the match was called off. Sunil Ambris made 94, while pacer Chris Woakes took 3-31.

I wonder what Cook thought about the warm-up matches....

Grateful if anyone could explain what benefit West Indian cricket derived from the events:

Can anyone confirm which of the Caribbean's local radio stations are carrying ball by ball commentary of the test matches that is accessible online?
