Overview

The West Indies cricket team toured England in the summer of 2012. The tour comprised three Test matches, three One Day Internationals and one Twenty20 International. One Test was originally awarded to Cardiff, but this was later awarded to Lord's after Glamorgan County Cricket Club were unable to pay their fee for hosting the 2011 Sri Lanka Test in time. __TOC__
