The third One-Day international between West Indies and England will take place today at Kensington Oval in Barbados.
The series is tied at 1-1 after the first two matches in Guyana. The West Indies lost the opening match in controversial circumstances last Friday, when they accepted bad light believing they were ahead of the target under the Duckworth-Lewis Method.
They however, recovered to beat the visitors by 21 runs in the second match last Saturday.
Captain Chris Gayle indicated yesterday that West Indies are likely to field the same 11 which won the second one-day International. It means that uncapped opener Dale Richards and fast-medium bowler Ravi Rampaul will be on the sideline.
England will welcome back Andrew Flintoff, who was passed fit on Tuesday to play.
The 31 year old returns to England’s line-up for the first time in a month, since injuring his hip during the third Test in Antigua.
