LONDON, Aug 5 (AFP): England Monday released details of their 2015 tour of the West Indies, including a first match at Antigua's Sir Vivian Richards Stadium since their abandoned game there in 2009.

In the second Test match at the venue five years ago, the West Indies managed to bowl only 10 balls before the game was called off after the outfield was deemed unsafe due to excess sand.

The venue was subsequently banned from hosting international cricket for 12 months, but it staged a Test match against New Zealand last year and three one-day games against England earlier this year.
