The West Indies won the first two Test matches, taking an unassailable lead in the series, and therefore winning the Wisden Trophy.[5] It was their first Test series win against England since 2009.[6] However, the West Indies captain Jason Holder was suspended for the third and final Test of the series, after the team's slow over-rate in the second Test.[7] Kraigg Brathwaite was named as the West Indies' captain for the third Test in Holder's place.[8] The West Indies won the series 2–1, after England won the third Test by 232 runs.[9]
During the ODI series, multiple individual and team records were broken by both sides. England's captain Eoin Morgan became the first batsman for the England team to score 6,000 runs in ODIs.[10] Chris Gayle became the second batsman for the West Indies, after Brian Lara, to score 10,000 runs in ODIs.[11] The ODI series was drawn 2–2, after the third match was washed out, finishing as a no result.[12]
For the T20I series, the West Indies retained players that were selected for the ODI matches, with Jason Holder named as the T20I captain in place of their regular T20I captain Carlos Brathwaite.[13] During the second match, the West Indies were bowled out for 45, which was the second-lowest total in T20Is and the lowest by a Full Member nation.[14] England won the T20I series 3–0.[15]
