International cricket is set to resume after 117-days of coronavirus interruption with an England vs West Indies Test series starting Wednesday (July 8). The resumption of cricket will also see the battle between top two all-rounders (Jason Holder and Ben Stokes) in Tests.

Holder and Stokes will be leading Windies and England cricket team in the first Test of the three-match series.
 
Stokes would become England’s 81st captain now as regular skipper Joe Root will be attending the birth of his second child, and as a result missing the first Test at Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
