Moeen Ali and his England team-mates are scheduled to land in the West Indies tomorrow for their two month tour of the Caribbean at the beginning of a monumental period of international cricket.
The Worcestershire all-rounder will be flying out with the squad from Gatwick after recharging his batteries during the past six weeks following the successful tour of Sri Lanka.
It will be the first action in an exciting spell which will also take in the ICC World Cup and the latest Ashes series – both on home soil.
Moeen will celebrate the fifth anniversary of first representing his country next month – also in the West Indies in an ODI Series
The 31-year-old has to date featured in 55 Tests, 87 ODIs and 25 T20Is.
Moeen will be bubbling with confidence after his 18 wickets in three Tests against the Sri Lankans.
England will take part in two warm-up games versus the West Indies Board X1 before the opening Test which starts on January 23 at the Kensington Oval.
They will do battle with the Windies in three Tests, five ODIs and three T20s before flying home in mid March.
