If that happens, theyll definitly have to improve the scheduling.
Well, obviously, but TBH I think they might just care about the World Cups and these series will all be about who can force themselves into a potential real squad, Bethell case in point, about one of the few positives with these recent run of games.

Ideally, you'd want to blood a couple of inexperienced (and by that I mean in relative terms, not guys who have barely play 50 over cricket at professional level!) players at a time, but with away Test series either side, obviously the multi-format players can't play. What happened to multi-format series against the same team?

Some potentially gun ODI players are just never going to play domestic 50 over cricket from now on because of the scheduling. England realise they have to own that and pick based on other formats. Otherwise they'll just be left with players who weren't good enough to be picked in the Hundred.

That doesn't have to mean picking a mediocre and injured bowling allrounder as a specialist #8 batsman, but it might mean picking players based on Tests, T20s or the Hundred.
 
I don’t know why the Englishmen are fussing. Let’s not forget that you guys are playing us in the West Indies.

Like ViV said, play who you want to…we are still gonna beat you.

Yes but the scheduling is down to ECB greed.

So they could change it, they just don't want to.

England win the toss and are bowling. Mahmood replaces Overton.

Think it should be Archer and Mahmood to bowl the first 10 overs..
They went for Turner who gets a wicket with his 4th ball.

Good toss to win? WIndies can't seem to score off Jofra at the moment.
Excellent toss to win. These early starts offer something to the bowlers and perhaps the venom of the bowlers last longer than the powerplay.

We are already behind the 8 ball. Need a partnership between these two. KC is timing them well. Hope is struggling
