England 's 1-0 series defeat to the West Indies saw them hit a new low, with Joe Root's side having failed to win any of their last five Test series for the first time in their history.
The tour was meant to be the start of a new era, a so-called 'red ball reset' after England's humiliating 4-0 loss to Australia in the Ashes. It did not go to plan though, with England drawing the first two Tests and comprehensively losing the final one by ten wickets, further exposing their limitations in Test cricket.
Of course, there are deep structural problems plaguing the England team and the ECB have commissioned a high-performance review panel to look into the state of English cricket. However, recommendations from the review are set to be published in September and could shape a potential restructure of the English game from 2023.
