The last domestic first-class matches played in the West Indies took place in March 2020, during the 2019–20 West Indies Championship. The final two rounds of that tournament were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6] There was also no tournament in 2020–21 because of the pandemic.[7][8] The first two rounds of fixtures took place in February 2022, followed by a break for the Test match series between the West Indies and England, with CWI announcing the fixtures for the next three rounds of matches in late March 2022.[9]
