Depart UK

Make your own way to London Gatwick where you can check in and head through customs before boarding your flight. Arrive into Antigua and after clearing customs and immigration transfer to your hotel where you can check in for the next seven nights on an all-inclusive basis.

Known for boasting a stunning beach for every day of the year, Antigua is also famous for its culinary delicacies and amazing weather - the perfect island to start this Caribbean cricket adventure!

Day at Leisure

A day at leisure in Antigua before the cricket begins tomorrow. Spend some time by the pool relaxing after a long day of travelling yesterday, perhaps with a signature rum cocktail. Alternatively, venture out and get to know the surroundings close to your hotel.

1st ODI

Today is the first ODI of the series. Jos Buttler will be looking to hit the ground running with a strong start, though the West Indies have a good ODI record at this ground in recent years. 

After a leisurely morning, jump onboard the match-day transfer to the stadium. The game will likely run into the evening, after which the coach will return you to your hotel.

Days at Leisure

Make the most of two full days at leisure in Antigua. There is no doubt that some of this time should be spent on the beach - Dickenson Bay and Ffryes Beach are two of the most popular among visitors. 

Nelson's Dockyard is a great place to explore Antigua's history. Named after the British Admiral - it's a UNESCO-listed site and there are plenty of bars and restaurants alongside the museum.

2nd ODI

After a few days of relaxation, the second ODI is upon us. Again, jump onboard the match-day transfer to the stadium. The game will likely run into the evening, after which the coach will return you to your hotel.

The second ODI will be an opportunity for the loser of the first match to drag themselves back into the series ahead of the final ODI in Barbados. The innings record for an ODI at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is 322 - well within reach of this strong England squad.

Day at Leisure

Enjoy a final day in Antigua before we depart for Barbados tomorrow.

Shirley Heights is one of the most picturesque spots on the island. The retired military lookout offers incredible views of both the English and Falmouth Harbours. Live music, rum punch, and local food such as saltfish and fungi, can often be enjoyed from here.

Antigua to Barbados

This morning, check-out of your hotel and transfer to the airport for your flight to Barbados. On arrival, transfer to your hotel for a six night stay on a bed and breakfast basis.

Barbados truly does have something for everyone. Pristine beaches, idyllic scenery and fantastic food. In fact, tonight there is the famous Fish Fry at Oistins which is hugely popular among locals and visitors alike and is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the famous Bajan cuisine and some local music.

3rd ODI

After a leisurely morning exploring the island as you wish, we will transfer to the famous Kensington Oval for the third ODI. The coach will transfer us back to the hotel after the game, which will likely finish in the evening.

The Kensington Oval is a real spectacle when England are in town, and the pitch here has resulted in some mammoth totals in recent years. Expect catches in the stands!

Days at Leisure

Enjoy two days at leisure in Barbados. Some may choose to relax and make the most of the white sandy beaches, while others may prefer to explore the island a little more. Previous Howzat travellers have enjoyed a taste of history at the Mount Gay Rum distillery.

In the evenings, experience the local nightlife on the St. Lawrence Gap. 'The Gap' is famous for the restaurants and bars that line the street - serving rum punch and macaroni pie.

1st T20

Enjoy your morning at leisure before jumping on-board the transfer to the stadium for the first T20 of five. The coach will transfer us back to the hotel after the game, which will likely finish in the evening.

Both teams will likely alter their sides today, bringing in specialist T20 players who have honed their skills in the franchise leagues across the world. West Indies set the T20 innings record at the Kensington Oval last year, amassing 224/5 at a run rate of 11.2 - so a high-scoring game could be on the cards.

Day at Leisure

One final day to spend as you like in Barbados. Don't miss the opportunity to relax on the beach before a day travelling tomorrow. 

Depart Barbados

Check out of your hotel this morning and transfer to the airport for your flight home.
