England will play one-day internationals in Antigua and Barbados on their tour of the West Indies next spring.
Eoin Morgan's men will fly to the Caribbean towards the end of February and take on the World Twenty20 champions in three 50-over matches after a couple of practice games.
They will twice play the West Indies Cricket Board President's XI in St Kitts before travelling to Antigua for a pair of one-day internationals at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on March 3 and 5.
The tour will conclude on March 9 with the third ODI at Barbados's Kensington Oval.
ECB director, England Cricket, Andrew Strauss said: "We are pleased to have agreed the itinerary for this tour which will form an important part of our one-day squad's preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy in England and Wales later in the summer.
"West Indies is always a popular tour destination for England fans and we trust as many supporters as possible will travel to the Caribbean to show support for the team."
