talkSPORT is delighted to announce its all-star lineup of pundits, experts and former players providing commentary and coverage of England’s upcoming white ball series against the West Indies.

The one day internationals begin on 31 October, and talkSPORT will have award-winning cricket commentary, wicket-by-wicket, direct from the talkSPORT team in the Caribbean. The test will be broadcast across the network, on talkSPORT and talkSPORT’s YouTube channel.

talkSPORT’s world-class lineup will include former England fast bowlers Darren Gough, Steve Harmison and Alex Tudor, former England batter and coach David 'Bumble' Lloyd, former England spinner and current Surrey Head Coach Gareth Batty, former England batter Mark Butcher, former Ireland International Cath Dalton, former West Indies Internationals Ian Bishop, Roland Butcher and Philo Wallace. 

The team is also made up of Neil Manthorp, Andrew McKenna, Jarrod Kimber, Machel St Patrick Hewitt, Barry Wilkinson and Jon Norman. Scoring by Garry Morgan & onsite reporter Cameron Ponsonby.

talkSPORT Cricket Editor Jon Norman said, "For the fourth consecutive England tour a talkSPORT team will be in the Caribbean to provide listeners on radio and YouTube all the action as it happens. And if this series is anything like the others then it'll be a topsy turvy affair with plenty of action and surprise."

talkSPORT’s cricket coverage is wide-ranging and constantly evolving. talkSPORT have previously broadcast England men’s tours in Bangladesh, South Africa, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, India and the West Indies.

In addition, at the end of 2024, talkSPORT will also broadcast England’s three-test tour of New Zealand. 

Earlier this month, talkSPORT 2 announced its partnership with New Zealand sports radio station Sports Entertainment New Zealand (SENZ) to bring listeners live, exclusive coverage of New Zealand's astonishing series win over India.  The 3rd Test gets underway on talkSPORT 2 and SENZ on Friday 1st November.

In 2018, talkSPORT won the Sports Journalism Award (SJA) for Best Live Sport Event for its coverage of the Sri Lanka series, and in 2020 the SJA for Best Live Event for England's tour of South Africa. The network was also nominated for the 2020 IRN Awards for Best Live Sports Event for England's tour of the West Indies and for the 2021 SJA Best Live Event for the India tour. Additionally, the Following On podcast was nominated for Best Sports Podcast at the 2022 British Podcast Awards.
