International cricket is coming to Kent later this summer, with three games being played at Polo Farm in Canterbury.

England's under-19s will host West Indies in a six-match One Day International series.

The first three matches will be held at Beckenham - taking place on Saturday, September 4, Monday, September 6 and Wednesday September 8.

The series then moves to Polo Farm in Canterbury with matches scheduled for Friday, September 10, Tuesday, September 14 and Friday, September 17.

ECB performance director Mo Bobat said: “With no international under-19 cricket having been played for well over a year now, we’re really looking forward to our under-19 men’s team getting back to action, in what should be an exciting and competitive series against West Indies.

“The opportunity for our best young players to test themselves against their international peers is a key foundation of their development and an important contributor to future international success.

"We’re also looking ahead to the next under-19 World Cup which is due to be held in early 2022 and so it’s important that we can start building towards that event.

“It’s been fantastic to see so many of the under-19 players who took part in the 2018 and 2020 tournaments in action across The Hundred and the Royal London Cup over recent weeks.

"Through those experiences, and the challenges that we aim to provide nationally, we give ourselves a good chance of further enhancing our depth of talent for England.

“It’s great that we can continue to be at the forefront of cricket’s return from COVID-19 and we’re incredibly grateful that Cricket West Indies have committed to sending their U19 team over to us this summer.”

ECB elite pathway coach Richard Dawson will coach the team.
