Windies vs England 2019, Test series – Approaching milestones

England had a memorable second half of 2018 where they registered big Test wins against India at home and Sri Lanka away. The first half didn’t go as expected as they were forced to draw the home Test series against Pakistan and lost an ODI to Scotland as well. Their 2019 kick starts in the Caribbean with a 3-match Test series against the Windies. The Jason Holder-led team had a poor overall 2018 where they lost almost everything except Test series at home and the T20I series to end in Bangladesh.
