West Indies start training
With all 25 players once again testing negative for the novel coronavirus, the West Indies began training for the historic bio-secure three-match Test series against England yesterday.

The first Test is set to start on July 8 at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton with the remaining two in Old Trafford from July 16-20 and July 24-28.
