England have cancelled a scheduled Test match against the West Indies to prioritize home warm-up fixtures ahead of the Ashes series.

The decision reflects the team's focus on preparation for the upcoming Ashes, with the England and Wales Cricket Board opting to replace the Windies Test with additional practice matches on home soil.

England spinner Sophie Ecclestone has been in strong form, claiming five-wicket hauls in her last two Test appearances.
