The West Indies touched down in the UK on Tuesday morning ahead of a cricket tour the like we have never seen before.

That they are here at all deserves applauding with the England and Wales Cricket Board and English cricket itself owing them a great debt.

Staring at a £380million loss and 800 days without cricket the ECB were left looking for answers. Cricket West Indies heeded the call and will play a three-Test series on these shores next month.
