Will they be wearing the red kit for the match against the West Indies All Stars on the 1st November? .
England will take part in cricket's richest ever match on November 1 when they face Allen Stanford's West Indies All-Stars with £10million at stake.
Talks between the American billionaire and ECB officials this week have resulted in the surprise decision to stage the match not during England's Caribbean tour next year but as part of the Antiguan independence celebrations this autumn.

Even though ECB chairman Giles Clarke said on Thursday that it is "very likely" the match will take place on a date to be arranged, Sportsmail can confirm that it is set for November 1 and that, even though the prize for the winners will be £10m, there will also be healthy appearance fees for the England players and ECB.
