Last July during the Sandals Tour of England, West Indies made a hugely significant international trip during the global COVID-19 outbreak – the first series in bio-secure venues. The series was also significant as it also saw the West Indies wear the BLM logo on their shirts following the murder of George Floyd in America.

The Sky Sports Cricket production team has won another major award for the broadcast. On Sunday it was announced they earned a BAFTA award in the Sport category for its live coverage of the first Test between England and West Indies at Southampton.
