The England cricket team toured the West Indies in January to play five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1] The England team also returned to the Caribbean in March to play three Test matches.[2] The Test series was the first time that the teams played for the Richards–Botham Trophy.[3][4] The Test series formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship.[5] In October 2021, the schedule for the tour was confirmed,[6] with the T20I matches taking place in January 2022,[7] and the Test matches taking place in March 2022.[8] Despite England losing The Ashes 4–0 in January 2022, Joe Root remained as England's Test captain.[9]
Prior to the third T20I, England's captain Eoin Morgan ruled himself out of the match after feeling pain in his right quad during the warm-up session.[10] Morgan was later ruled out of the rest of the T20I series,[11] with Moeen Ali leading the team in his absence.[12] The West Indies won the first T20I by nine wickets,[13] with England winning the second match by one run.[14] Rovman Powell scored his first century in a T20I match, as the West Indies won the third T20I by 20 runs.[15] With an all-round performance from Moeen Ali, England won the fourth match by 34 runs to level the series 2–2.[16] thanks to a five-wicket haul and a hat-trick from Jason Holder, the West Indies won the final match by 17 runs to win the series 3–2.[17]
The first Test match ended in a draw.[18] England had set the West Indies a target of 286 runs from 71 overs,[19] with England only managing to take four wickets.[20] The second Test was also drawn,[21] with both captains scoring centuries.[22] The West Indies won the third Test by ten wickets, to take the series 1–0.[23] The defeat on the back of losing the Ashes series 4–0 called into question Root's captaincy,[24] with several ex-England Test captains calling for Root to step down.[25] On 15 April 2022, Root resigned as the captain of England's Test side with immediate effect.[26] Root said it has been an honour to captain the side but how much of a toll it has taken on him.[27]
