ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction: With the England vs West Indies ODI series 2025 at home, England will enter a new era in their white-ball journey with Harry Brook as the captain and Brendon McCullum taking charge as the all-format coach, shouldering additional limited-overs’ responsibility to his Test role.

England (eighth) are not too far ahead of West Indies (ninth) either in the ranking.
