“England know that at some point they will have to give us back something,” Simmons told the BBC. “I think there has been a lot of dialogue between our top brass and the English top brass so I’m sure something is being put in place.” Simmons said England’s tour of the Caribbean would provide financial support to the West Indies, whose cricket board halved salaries of staff and players in July for up to six months due to the financial crisis caused by the pandemic. “I think all the countries below the top three (England, Australia and India) need some sort of assistance,” he said. “It’s similar to the Premier League looking to help the EFL.” An England and Wales Cricket Board spokesperson said that England were keen to support the West Indies but a tour in the near future is unlikely. “While the current international calendar doesn’t allow us to travel to the West Indies before our next scheduled visit in early 2022, we are currently in discussion with them about expanding this tour to include additional games,” the spokesperson said.
