JOHN\u2019S, Antigua \u2013 Cricket West Indies (CWI) is pleased to confirm a seven-match Youth ODI series between the West Indies Men\u2019s Under-19 team and England Under-19s, scheduled from 16 November to 1 December 2025 at the Grenada National Stadium in St George\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"2vnoi\">The series forms a crucial part of the squad\u2019s build-up to the ICC Men\u2019s Under-19 World Cup in January 2026, following their hard-fought 4\u20133 series win over Sri Lanka in Antigua in August\/September.<\/p>\n<p>          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSC_7237\" height=\"1496\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7c190d89-dde5-470d-b376-d473355925dd.original.jpg\" width=\"2275\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"1u74h\">All fixtures will be played at the Grenada National Stadium after the series was relocated from St Vincent.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"tfmq\">Cricket West Indies made the request to the National Sports Council of St. Vincent and the Grenadines in March 2025, however, recent correspondence from the council indicated the grounds were unavailable due to international scheduling.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"e04ol\">Both teams arrive in Grenada on 8 November, with three days of training scheduled at the venue. A warm-up match between England Under-19s and a Grenada Under-25 select XI will take place on 12 November ahead of the opening ODI.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"7ucvh\">CWI Director of Cricket Miles Bascombe welcomed the visiting English contingent saying:<\/p>\n<p>          \u201cThis series against England forms an important part of our strategic plan to refine the squad through consistent, high-quality competition. The group has already gained valuable experience and confidence from the recent seven-match series win against Sri Lanka, and this next assignment provides another crucial opportunity for growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>          \u201cEngland always fields a strong and well-prepared Under-19 team, and we expect another highly competitive contest in Grenada. These matches are vital in ensuring our players continue to develop their skills, temperament, and match awareness, so that by the time the World Cup arrives, they will have significant exposure to the intensity and demands of international youth cricket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"d2j8p\">All matches start at 9:00 a.m. and are scheduled to end by 5:00 p.m. Live streaming will be available on the Windies Cricket YouTube channel, with live a scorecard accessible for each game via the Match Centre on <a href=\"https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.windiescricket.com%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cnmaitland%40cricketwestindies.org%7Cf62425db3d4d4380f62508de0c373598%7Ca8ffb8629374453984cd1c7a13c9313b%7C0%7C0%7C638961628462531337%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=mBTSuyONXrIGI2wIPfpVYSdr0M9WIGD6ikP%2B%2B%2Fh%2B0u0%3D&amp;reserved=0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.windiescricket.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"8u4bu\">The tour concludes with both teams departing on 2 December.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"9ludg\">Match Schedule:<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"duc8n\">1st Y-ODI \u2013 16 November<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"atjcb\">2nd Y-ODI \u201319 November<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"acnvd\">3rd Y-ODI \u2013 21 November<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"3meau\">4th Y-ODI \u2013 24 November<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"dc4ju\">5th Y-ODI \u2013 26 November<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"d0rhi\">6th Y-ODI \u2013 29 November<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"fq94n\">7th Y-ODI \u2013 1 December<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cricket West Indies Announces Youth ODI Series against England U19 Oct. 16, 2025, 10:05 p.m. ST.
