Quote:England will return to the scene of the 10-ball Test match when they play in Antigua on their tour of the West Indies next April.

The schedule for the three Test series was revealed following some political wrangling - an England Test is extremely valuable to Caribbean islands heavily reliant on tourism - with Barbados and Grenada the other venues.

In 2009 the Antigua Test at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium was abandoned after only 1.4 overs with the sandy outfield deemed a safety risk to the players. A replacement match at the Antigua Recreation Ground was hastily arranged which was thrillingly drawn with West Indies nine wickets down. England returned to North Sound earlier this year during their limited-overs tour.

Meanwhile, Grenada will stage its first Test since 2009. The National Cricket Stadium in St George's took over from the old Queen's Park ground as Grenada's international venue in 1999 but since then has only staged two Tests - against New Zealand in 2002 and Bangladesh in 2009.
