London, Nov 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Monday announced the schedule for England Women's team touring the Caribbean in December for three ODIs and five T20Is.

The three-match ODI series, followed by a five-match T20I series will be played from December 4-22 in Antigua and Barbuda, as well as in Barbados.
